Watch how Baffour Awuah calmed angry supporters amid chaos between Nsoatreman and Asante Kotoko

Former Minister of Employment and Labour Relations and Chairman of Nsoatreman FC, Baffour Awuah, found himself at the center of chaotic scenes during Nsoatreman’s game against Asante Kotoko at the Nana Konamansah Park on Sunday, February 2, 2025.

Tragically, the incident claimed the life of Yaw Frimpong, a well-known and passionate Asante Kotoko supporter. Investigations are currently underway, and the Ghana Police Service have made three arrests, with Baffour Awuah as one of the suspects.

However, a video circulating online shows the former Sunyani West Member of Parliament attempting to restore order during the altercation.

With tensions rising in the stands, Awuah desperately tried to calm angry supporters. He moved to all four corners of the stadium, gesturing for peace in an effort to allow the game to continue.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, as the situation escalated, resulting in a fatal stabbing.

In response to the tragic event, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have suspended the use of Nana Konamansah Park and temporarily halted the league while investigations continue.

Additionally, Asante Kotoko have announced their withdrawal from the Ghana Premier League.
