Kurt Okraku is the President of the GFA
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has made a passionate appeal for a key witness to come forward in the investigation into the murder of young football fan, Nana Pooley.
He urged the individual who was with the killer at the time of the incident to disclose their whereabouts.
On Thursday, February 20, 2025, during his visit to Asante Kotoko — his first since the tragic death of the club’s supporter, Okraku called on the nation to unite in the pursuit of justice for Pooley.
Speaking to the media, he made an emotional plea for witnesses to step forward and assist in bringing the perpetrator to justice, ensuring that Pooley’s family finds closure.
“When that tragic incident happened at Nsoatre, there was someone present with the person who took Nana Pooley’s life. That person must be honest with the football community and reveal the killer’s identity. It’s a painful moment, but also an opportunity to do the right thing for our game,” he said.
Despite the ongoing challenges facing Ghanaian football, Okraku expressed optimism about the future.
“I have always said that transforming our football is a tough and demanding journey. Right now, we are facing one of our most difficult moments, but we will overcome it,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has arrested up to six suspects, some of whom have been granted bail, including Nsoatreman owner, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
