Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has issued an emotional appeal for anyone with information to come forward and assist in identifying the person responsible for the tragic killing of Yaw Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley.
During his first meeting with Asante Kotoko since Pooley’s tragic passing, GFA President Kurt Okraku addressed the incident and its impact on Ghanaian football. He emphasized the need for justice, urging anyone who witnessed the fatal stabbing to come forward with information.
“When that tragic act occurred in Nsoatre, there was someone present with the person who took Nana Pooley’s life. That person must be honest with football and reveal the killer’s identity. It’s a painful moment, but also an opportunity to make a positive impact on our game,” Okraku stated.
In his address, Okraku also acknowledged the persistent challenges facing Ghanaian football, emphasizing that overcoming these issues requires time, patience, and significant investment.
“I have always said that the journey to transform our football is tough and rough, and right now, we are facing one of our toughest moments. But we will get through it,” he added.
Asante Kotoko has returned to training as anticipation grows for the resumption of the Ghana Premier League. The league had been suspended due to concerns over hooliganism, with Kotoko and Hearts of Oak at the forefront of calls for stricter measures to tackle violence in the sport.
