My heart-felt condolences go to the family, Club and admirers and U-17 team mates of Benjamin Owuwu. At a time when Ghana is putting youthful force and talent at the forefront of its football conquest, it is sad, very sad, to see shooting stars fall down at this tender age. Benjamin, may your soul rest in blissful peace! Amen! Peace and strength from the Lord be unto your Family! Amen! Ghana will remember you, for your service.
