The Ghana Police Service has made a significant breakthrough in the investigation into the tragic murder of Francis Yaw Frimpong, a devoted Asante Kotoko fan, also known as Nana Pooley.
According to an official statement from Asante Kotoko, the police have arrested Grace Siaw, the girlfriend of the prime suspect, Daniel Febiri, also known as Braima.
Grace Siaw is accused of concealing Braima between February 4 and February 17 and allegedly helping him escape to Senegal through Cote d’Ivoire. She was arraigned before the court on February 25 and subsequently remanded into custody.
Kotoko, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stated that she is scheduled to reappear before the court today, with authorities closely monitoring developments.
“The police have in their custody one GRACE SIAW, a girlfriend of DANIEL FEBIRI a.k.a BRAIMA a..k.a ASHI a.k.a Rasta who concealed the suspect between 4th & 17th Feb and assisted him to ran to Senegal through Cote D’voire. She was brought to court on 25th Feb and was remanded. She is to be brought to court today, and we are waiting.” Asante Kotoko wrote.
The arrest comes amid heightened calls for justice for Nana Pooley, whose tragic death has sparked widespread outrage in Ghanaian football.
Ghana Premier League side, Bechem United FC, recently placed a GH₵100,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the perpetrator.
