In honor of their ardent fan Francis Yaw Frimpong, also referred to as “Nana Pooley,” Asante Kotoko has conducted a mournful vigil.
During Kotoko’s Matchday 19 match against Nsoatreman FC at Nana Kronmansah Park in Nsoatre last Sunday, Nana Pooley tragically died after being stabbed by unidentified attackers.
Six people have been arrested in connection with his death, including Ignatius Baffour Awuah, the owner of Nsoatreman FC.
Members of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) Nana Apinkra Akwesi Awuah, Kwesi Appiah, and head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum were among the prominent club members who attended the vigil on Sunday at Baba Yara Stadium.
The entire playing squad and numerous supporters also joined the event, with some grieving fans visibly emotional, chanting “Justice for Pooley.”
In response to the tragic incident, Asante Kotoko has announced its withdrawal from all football activities until justice is served.
