Mutambi Webhora OurayiwaSad: Senegalese Star Kil...led By Fake Scouts In GhanaSenegalese footballer Cheikh Touré has died under tragic circumstances after being lured to Ghana by individuals posing as professional football scouts.
According to reports from Ghana, the 18-year-old travelled for what he believed was a legitimate club trial, only to fall victim to a criminal gang. Investigations have revealed that the people who contacted him were not affiliated with any football organisation, but were part of a syndicate involved in fraud and kidnapping.
Touré was allegedly held hostage by the suspects, who demanded a ransom from his family, promising to release him once the money was paid. Sadly, his family could not raise the demanded amount, and his body was later discovered in Ghana.
