Pooley was intentionally stabbed to death – Dan Kwaku Yeboah suggests

Sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah has asserted that staunch Asante Kotoko fan Yaw Frimpong, also known as Pooley, was deliberately murdered by some individuals.

According to him, reports indicating that the deceased was stabbed five times suggest that the person responsible for the cruel act had planned to take his life.

The Peace FM journalist noted that the violent incident is a dent on the Ghana Premier League, which is already in a bad state.

“Why would a young guy go to the stadium and lose his life because of the Ghana Premier League? Even in better times, people weren’t dying. Today, the league is not good enough, and I was really saddened upon hearing the news. I learned he was stabbed five times, so I think the intention was to kill him.

“If he had been stabbed once, he could have survived, but the person made sure he would die. The league is not in a good state, considering the salaries paid to players and other factors; it’s really a bad situation,” he said in Twi on Peace FM.

He made these comments after Pooley was fatally stabbed during a melee at the match between Nsoatreman and Kotoko on January 2, 2024.

Multiple reports suggest he was stabbed five times and succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have banned Nsoatreman from using their home venue and initiated a probe into the violent incident to identify and punish the culprits.
