A young Ghanaian footballer, Rashid Moro, has died\u00a0after drowning around the Labadi beach in Accra.<\/p>\n

Rashid, who plays for Accra-based lower-tier side Desidero FC, was confirmed dead on Saturday after drowning while training.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Accea-based\u00a0Angel FM,<\/em>\u00a0the player\u2019s brother said Moro had just returned from injury and went for recovery training at the beach with a friend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He narrated that, per the report of Rashid\u2019s friend, Rashid tried washing off in the sea after the training but never came out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report is true. He is my brother. I had a call from Rashid\u2019s friend who inquired if he (Rashid) had reached home because he is unable to find him after training with him at Labadi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was worried because Rashid never told me he was going there to train. We rushed to the beach but didn\u2019t find him. The people at the beach directed that we perform a ritual which we did. The next we saw him dead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He was washed ashore and was immediately buried per Islamic custom on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Rashid is an old student at St. Augustine\u2019s SHS.<\/p>\n
