A journalist who works for Adom TV has received harsh criticisms on social media for approaching Christian Atsu’s son at the funeral and asking him a tagged ‘insensitive’ question.
In a viral video that has received massive angry reactions from Ghanaians, the journalist had asked one of the player’s sons how it felt for him to lose his father at such a young age.
The incident happened while Christian Atisu’s wife and kids were making their way to the forecourt of the State House for the funeral.
Appearing confused, the boy did not give an answer but rather burst into laughter as was later ushered to his seat alongside some members of his mother’s family.
Dear @adom_tv
Who is the female journalist at the funeral of Christian Atsu who thinks it is appropriate to ask a little boy who has come to bury his father “How do you feel?”
Like SERIOUSLY! 😡😡😡
The need for an exclusive story doesn’t mean negating ethics and empathy. pic.twitter.com/NJtDbQ3Aho— Sarah Adebambo (@sarah_adebambo) March 17, 2023
