Tragedy struck the football community on February 2, 2025, when Nana Pooley, a devoted Asante Kotoko supporter, was fatally stabbed during the clubโs match against Nsoatreman.

Following the attack, the Ghana Police Service launched a thorough investigation to bring justice to the deceasedโs family, leading to the arrest of multiple suspects, including Nsoatreman owner Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
Now, in a significant development, Asante Kotokoโs lawyer, Sarfo Duku, has revealed that the Ghana Police Service has identified Pooleyโs killer.
Speaking to reporters after a court appearance, Duku disclosed that police documents and statements from suspects all point to a man named Braimah as the individual who fatally stabbed Pooley.
However, he remains at large.
โOne person is still at large. Heโs called Braimah, and according to the police, based on their findings, he is the one who actually stabbed the deceased,โ Duku stated.
โIn fact, according to the police, Iโm speaking based on their official report, which is now a public document, all the accused persons have admitted that it was Braimah, who is currently on the run, that stabbed Pooley to death.โ
