Chairman of the Interim Management Committee of Asante Kotoko, Nana Apinkra
The chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of Asante Kotoko, Nana Apinkra, has announced the club’s intention to report Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Lydia Donkor to the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
Nana Apinkra expressed concerns over DCOP Donkor’s handling of investigations into the murder of Nana Pooley, a staunch Kotoko fan who was stabbed during a league game at Nsoatre on February 2, 2025.
The chairman demanded that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) remove the DCOP as the head of their investigative team.
“We will officially report DCOP Lydia Donkor to the IGP, and we want the GFA to remove her from the case because she was appointed by you people,” he said in an executive meeting streamed by the club on YouTube.
Nana Apinkra’s concerns and demand come in response to DCOP Donkor’s earlier claim that Pooley was not stabbed at the stadium.
“This unfortunate incident [the fan’s stabbing] didn’t happen inside the stadium. It happened outside, and he was picked up by a tricycle and dropped at that section of the stadium,” She told Joy Sports while providing an update on the case.
Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing, with police arresting six suspects in connection with the case.
