A tragic incident during Sunday's Ghana Premier League clash between Nsoatreman FC and Asante Kotoko has left the football community in shock, following the brutal stabbing and death of a Kotoko fan, Nana Pooley.
A medical practitioner identified as Amponsah, who was an eyewitness seated in the VIP section, has accused Nsoatreman FC owner and former Minister of Employment, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, of playing a role in inciting the violent events that led to the tragedy.
According to Amponsah, tensions escalated after Baffour-Awuah expressed frustration when Kotoko's Head of Technical Directorate, Kwasi Appiah, declined his request to follow him onto the pitch to help defuse the rising conflict."He got upset and signalled the supporters to continue what they were doing.
As he returned to his seat, Pooley approached him and pleaded, 'Honourable, what the fans are doing is not good; tell them to stop.' But Baffour-Awuah, still frustrated, pushed Pooley." Amponsah stated.
