Ghana Accra/Xinhua: Seven Ghanaian teenage footballers who died in a road traffic accident on September 19 were laid to rest on Thursday.
The players, all aged between 12 and 15, were returning to the town of Offinso having undergone a local district football registration exercise when their driver lost control of the minibus and crashed into a river.
