Why should this happen in the first place? Otumfuo questioned. A family has lost a young and vibrant man due to someones wickedness. No one should lose his life because of a game.The King added that regardless of the exact location where the assailant committed the crime, he must be identified and arrested immediately as a testament to the effectiveness of the countrys laws.You premeditate to kill an individual because of a statement he made about causing your relegation? No one should put such authority in his hands to commit such a crime.This shouldnt have happened. Institute a thorough investigation to arrest the perpetrator. Why hasnt he been arrested until now? He is still around and yet the law enforcement agencies havent gotten him. Arrest him to deter others, he added.As part of the measures to prevent hooliganism at the various stadia, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has released a matchday safety and protocols all clubs must abide by.
