Ghanaian football star- Michael Essien has lost his father-James Essien. The Ghanaian midfilder arrived in Ghana yesterday to pay his last respect to the Dad. He took to twitter to express his sorrow by saying; “It’s hard to take but God knows best. Thanks a lot for the support and well wishes. R.I.P Father!!!!”

Though Michael Essien managed to end the ‘fight’ and great differences which brought his father into the media over accusations of neglect, most people out there remember him as Michael Essien father he failed to take care of…

We are pleased the two had a better reunion before James Essien died.

Our hearts are with the Essien family, friends and loved ones in this time of sorrow.
