The burial and funeral rites of late Asante Kotoko fan Francis Frimpong alias Nana Pooley, are ongoing in Kumasi.
Pooley was murdered during a melee between fans and players of Asante Kotoko and Nsoatreman FC during a Ghana Premier League match on February 2, 2025.
Following the incident, a number of arrests have been made, including the owner of Nsoatreman FC, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
The main suspect, whose name has been given as Braimah, however, remains at large, with reports indicating that he has fled to Senegal.
According to police reports, Braimah fled to Senegal through the Ivory Coast after seeking cover at the house of his girlfriend, who has also been arrested.
Meanwhile, the Asantehene, Otumfuo, has adopted the children of Pooley and offered to take care of them.
The funeral is expected to have in attendance representatives from Manhyia, players and management of Asante Kotoko, as well as reps from Accra Hearts of Oak.
The Ghana Football Association are expected to be in attendance alongside clubs in the Ghana Premier League.
