NEWS IN: Asante Kotoko lodge complaint at CID to invite Prof. E.K Wallace of Asempa FM

The Management of Asante Kotoko led by Nana Apinkra has officially lodged complaint at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to invite Asempa FM’s journalist Enoch Kwesi Worlanyo Wallace following his comment over the death of staunch supporter Nana Pooley, according to Accra-based Mothers FM.

The complaint for the invitation is linked to his comment about the death of Nana Pooley.

The well-known sports presenter claimed on Thursday night that the fan was stabbed at a location described as ‘ghetto’ outside the stadium before being transported to the venue, where he was later pronounced dead.

His assertion affirms an earlier submission by the GFA chairperson on the Safety and Security, DCOP Lydia Donkor that the fan died outside the stadium.

“Per my investigations, Pooley went to a popular hood, also known as ghetto for boys conversation at Nsoatre. In the course of the discussion, there was a dispute unrelated to football. In the heat of the moment, tempers flared and Brimah allegedly stabbed Pooley. A tricycle owner called Sunsum was taking him to the hospital. On their way, Pooley saw an ambulance at the Stadium and decided to stop to receive medical attention,” Wallace narrated

“Unfortunately, due to excessive bleeding, he shortly collapsed and died. Following the police arrest, Sunsum reported himself to the police to narrate what actually happened. And so the police and some club officials are aware, hence the silence on the case recently. It is part of the reason Kotoko agreed to return to the Ghana Premier League.”

This shocking revelation that he was moved after the attack adds to the uncertainty, potentially complicating the investigation into what exactly transpired and who may have been involved.

Reacting to his comment, the management of the record holders of the Ghana Premier League has directed the CID to invite him to assist Police investigation.

Pooley lost his life after being stabbed in Nsoatre during Kotoko’s Ghana Premier League matchday 19 fixture against Nsoatreman.

His passing prompted the suspension of the league and sparked discussions about security at match venues.

However, Pooley’s funeral has been scheduled for March 6, following a one-week observation held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
