Asante Kotoko IMC chairman, Nana Akwasi Apinkra Awuah, appealed for calm amongst the club’s fans regarding Nana Pooley’s death, requesting that the police handle the case.
Unidentified assailants fatally stabbed an ardent Kotoko supporter at the Nana Kronmansah Park during their Matchday 19 clash with Nsoatreman FC last weekend.
Despite this, the club’s management, players, and some supporters observed a vigil for the deceased at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Nana Apinkra told fans to be calm while the Ghana Police Service investigates.
“It’s been a week since Pooley’s death. The matter is with the national security. The IGP has promised to help us. We are pleased with what he has done in the past week,” he said.
“Don’t act on what you have heard and what someone has done. Let’s allow the law to delve into the matter. I promise you we will not allow this matter to go without answers.
“If you know anyone who has any information and can help, bring it to the Kotoko Secretariat so we can add to our other findings.”
The Ghana Police Service has made six arrests concerning the stabbing, releasing two on bail, including former Sunyani West MP Ignatius Baffour Awuah.
The GFA has met with all Premier League clubs and will meet with supporter group leaders.
Asante Kotoko has ceased all football activities to protest for justice.
