Wife Of Late Asante Kotoko Fan Nana Pooley Pleads For Justice From IGP Yohuno And GFA President

The wife of the late Asante Kotoko supporter Nana Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley, has made a heartfelt appeal to Ghana’s Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno and the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, asking them to ensure justice is served in the tragic case of her husband’s death. She described the loss as devastating and urged authorities to take decisive action to bring the perpetrator or perpetrators to account.

Nana Pooley was a well-known and passionate supporter of the Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, and his death at a football event shocked many fans and members of the local football community. His passing has become a rallying point for fans and family members demanding greater safety measures at matches and accountability when violence occurs. Muted responses from law enforcement and football officials have intensified calls for a thorough investigation.

In a public plea, Pooley’s wife directly addressed both IGP Yohuno and Okraku, expressing her anguish and asking for their support in ensuring that the police fully pursue all leads. She stressed that identifying and prosecuting those responsible would not only bring closure for her family, but also help restore confidence among football supporters and curb similar incidents in the future.

The Ghana Football Association has previously called for justice in this case, with Kurt Okraku appealing for witnesses to come forward and for the police to intensify efforts to find the individual responsible for the fan’s death. Okraku and other football leaders have emphasised the importance of security and peace at matches, urging cooperative action to prevent further tragedies.

Supporters and members of the football community have expressed solidarity with Pooley’s family, with many taking to social media and at match venues to echo the call for justice. The incident has renewed focus on fan safety and violence prevention at Ghana’s football games, highlighting concerns about how security can be strengthened at sporting events nationwide.
