Owner of Nsoatreman FC, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah
The Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of Asante Kotoko, Nana Apinkrah Akwasi Awuah, has vowed that the club will activate every legal protocol to ensure that the persons behind the mayhem at the Nana Konamansah Park in Nsoatre are brought to justice.
Speaking to the media during a meeting with officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Nana Apinkrah stated that the club will ensure that justice is served for them as well as the family of Francis Frimpong, alias Nana Pooley, the Kotoko fan who was murdered in the incident.
“We will go to every length to ensure justice. All those who incited the fans against us, including Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, will be dealt with. The GFA should have by now instituted a probe, but they are sitting somewhere issuing fines,” he said.
Nana Apinkrah also expressed anger over their supposed lack of proactiveness on the matter.
“You [GFA] are only issuing fines, to the extent that you are fining people who were not even involved. It’s as if you don’t care,” Apinkrah told the Ghana FA in a meeting. “We are angry because it’s painful. It’s very painful.
“I was expecting that by this time, the GFA would have probed into the whole situation, including Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, who incited the fans against us,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has arrested some persons believed to be involved in the chaotic incident that led to the demise of the Asante Kotoko supporter.
Pooley was stabbed during Kotoko’s game against Nsoatreman on February 2, 2025.
