Eighteen-year-old Senegalese footballer Cheikh Toure was kidnapped and murdered in Ghana. This was announced in a statement by Senegal's Ministry of African Integration and Foreign Affairs.

18-year-old Senegalese footballer Toure was kidnapped and killed in Ghana.
"An initial investigation by consular services has revealed that Toure, a young footballer from Senegal, is believed to have been the victim of fraud and extortion," the ministry noted.

The athlete's body was discovered on October 17 in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city, and was taken to the morgue. The cause of death is being determined. After the necessary procedures, the body will be transported to Senegal.

Touré allegedly fell into the hands of fake recruiters. The promising young goalkeeper was training at the Spirit Foot Academy in Dakar, Senegal, and hoped to undergo trials in Morocco. In Ghana, a group of armed men kidnapped Touré, who then demanded ransom from his family and threatened to kill him, BFMTV reported.
