“Anytime Kotoko Travels to Brong Ahafo, Controversy Follows”- Anthony Twum on Fan Tragedy

Anthony Twum Barimah, a member of the communications team for the Kumasi Asante Kotoko Club, has attributed the tragic death of Francis Yaw Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley, to ongoing tensions between Asante Kotoko and clubs in the Brong Ahafo Region.

He believes that anytime Asante Kotoko goes to away games in the Brong Ahafo area, there are always hostilities towards members of the club’s entourage.

Speaking on the incidents that unfolded during Kotoko’s match against Nsoatreman FC in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Twum Barimah expressed concern over an apparent pattern of hostility towards the club in the region.

To support his claim, Barimah cited past incidents involving Kotoko in the region.

Barimah further suggested that such incidents damage the reputation of the Ghana Premier League. His remarks come amid growing concerns over fan safety and club relations in Ghanaian football coming after Nana Pooley stabbing and eventual death on Sunday.
