Ghana player out of airport after 74 days
Like Tom Hanks’s Viktor Navorski in The Terminal, Randy Juan Muller can’t say “I am going home” right away, but his story has been no different from the disarming visitor from Krakozhia.
Muller, a 23-year-old Ghanaian footballer playing for a Kerala club, spent 74 days at Mumbai airport after getting stranded because of the lockdown. On Saturday, thanks to help from the Yuva Sena, the youth wing of the ruling Shiv Sena, he moved to a local hotel, waiting for airlines to resume operations so that he can fly home.
Muller thanked Maharashtra tourism minister Aaditya Thackeray and Yuva Sena officer-bearer Rahul Kanal. “Thank you Aaditya Thackeray, Rahul Kanal. Thank you very very much. I appreciate what you have done. Salute,” he said.
