Ignatius Baffour Awuah, during the game, was seen inciting his fans to interrupt the game. We saw him inviting Kwesi Appiah, but we asked him not to go, he said.After that, the fans demanded that Pooley leave the stadium and he did that even without wearing his Asante Kotoko jersey due to how the situation was tense and in less than 10 minutes, we were informed that he had been stabbed.We informed Ignatius Baffour Awuah of what had happened, and he failed to show up. He hasnot even reached out to the management of Asante Kotoko to find out exactly what happened.The issue is currently in the hands of the police and we hope the right thing will be done, he added.Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) will hold an emergency meeting with Premier League clubs, stakeholders and supporters groups on Thursday and Friday respectively.Additionally, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Lydia Donkor has been tasked to lead the investigations following the violent incident.
