Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has urged COP Christian Tetteh Yohunu, the Inspector-General of Police, to assist in bringing justice to the case of Francis Yaw Frimpong, well known as Nana Pooley, a late supporter of Asante Kotoko.
During a meeting between the Ghana Police Service and the GFA leadership at the Police Headquarters in Accra, the call was made in order to discuss safety and accountability issues in football.
Early in 2025, Nana Pooley was slain during a Ghana Premier League game, shocking the football community and rekindling worries about spectator safety at stadiums. The matter is still pending more than a year later.
Okraku stressed the importance of bringing closure to the matter, noting that justice for the deceased and his family would reinforce confidence in the game’s governance and security arrangements.
He urged the Police to continue supporting the judicial process to ensure a timely and transparent resolution, adding that protecting lives at football matches remains a shared responsibility between the FA and law enforcement agencies.
The IGP assured the GFA of the Police Service’s commitment to maintaining security and supporting due process in all matters related to football safety.
