GFA President Kurt Okraku Addresses Absence Following Nana Pooley’s Death
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has spoken for the first time about his absence following the tragic death of Asante Kotoko supporter, Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley.
His silence on the matter had sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning his lack of public engagement. Some speculated that he had been campaigning for a CAF position instead of addressing the pressing issue.
However, during his first meeting with Asante Kotoko since the incident, Okraku dismissed the claims, clarifying that his trip was for official GFA duties and personal medical reasons.
“When the Nsoatre incident happened, I was out of the country, not for a CAF slot campaign but to work for the FA and seek medical attention. However, every action taken by the FA was under my directive, and we responded swiftly to the situation,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko has resumed training as preparations for the return of the Ghana Premier League gather momentum, with the club continuing to demand stricter security measures at match venues.
