Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has assured Asante Kotoko’s management that all individuals found guilty in the tragic death of Francis Yaw Frimpong, also known as Pooley, will face justice, regardless of their status.
Speaking in a meeting with Kotoko’s leadership, Kofi Adams reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring accountability for the incident, which has sparked widespread concerns over security at football venues in Ghana.
“Anyone found guilty in the tragic incident will not be spared irrespective of their status,” he assured.
The death of Pooley, a die-hard Kotoko supporter, occurred following violent clashes after the club’s Ghana Premier League match against Nsoatreman FC. The incident has led to multiple arrests, with investigations still ongoing.
Kotoko’s management has been vocal about their demand for justice and improved security at stadiums, calling for major reforms in Ghana football to prevent similar tragedies.
The club has currently suspended all first-team activities and have vowed to return after justice is duly served.
