A staunch member of the Asante Kotoko Interim Management Committee has expressed anger over DCOP Lydia Donkor’s comments about Nana Pooley’s tragic death.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police, who leads the investigation team, shockingly disclosed in an interview with JoySports that the tragic demise of the top Kotoko supporter occurred outside 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 explained.
Her comments have intensified public outrage, prompting many to voice their frustrations and seeking justice for Nana Pooley.
However, a staunch member of the Kotoko management committee appears uncomfortable with the revelation made by DCOP Lydia Donkor.
The IMC member, whose name can not be mentioned, has reacted strongly, suggesting her comments contradict the initial reports.
“This woman is actually making so many people very pissed off. The incident happened when they got to the gate, where that China girl [Akosua Black Chinese] was standing.
“She was with the killer, and she slapped Pooley for the killer to get the opportunity to stab him. So why is she trying to say that he was not stabbed at the stadium?
“She is just trying to take herself out as the FA’s Security Head because of poor security arrangement at the venue. The Police were supposed to be at the outer space, but all of them were inside the perimeter. They did not do their job well because of her poor work. Closed source told Ghanasportspage.com
“To say that the incident did not happen at the stadium is a strategy to shape people’s minds that she worked perfectly, which is wrong…. because we are now gathering a lot of evidence.
“For you to come out because of Nsoatre people telling you whatever they like after going there is wrong and at that same way, she is trying to get yourself out or not being tagged for poor security arrangement at the stadium is the cause of the death.
“The boy was killed at the gate while going out before he was carried outside for Aboboyaa [tricycle]. Why is she talking about it.. I called [another IMC member], and everybody is very pissed off about what she is trying to do.
“We are not done with the investigation, and you are saying this. As Police personnel, you know very well that we are not done with the investigation, and you went there to say that the incident did not happen at the gate.”
The incident, which happened a week ago, has led to the suspension of the Ghana Premier League as the Ghana FA met with the 18 Premier League clubs to discuss measures to curb such acts.
Kotoko has also withdrawn from the competition “until justice is served.”
