Cheikh Touré lost his life after being enticed abroad in a rising number of scams that exploit talented young athletes, luring them with false promises of football fame.
When Diodo Sokhna last spoke to her son, his once hopeful tone was gone, overshadowed by a sense of despondency. Cheikh had embarked on a journey aiming to secure a future in professional football.
