Nature of Ghanaâ??s judicial system slowing down investigations into Nana Pooley case â?? Sarfo Duku

Asante Kotoko say the ongoing investigation into the death of supporter Nana Frimpong “Pooley” is taking longer than expected due to the nature of Ghana’s judicial system.

The fan was stabbed to death on February 2 during a Ghana Premier League match between Kotoko and Nsoatreman FC.

Eight individuals are currently standing trial, but no convictions have yet been secured.

Kotoko’s Communications Director, Sarfo Duku, explained that the delays stem from the court process rather than any party involved.

“The matter is pending in court, it is for the state [because] this is a criminal matter,” Duku told JoySports. “Last Wednesday, we were in court and the matter was adjourned to the 9th of October. All that we are waiting for is for the processes to be sped up.

“You cannot put any blame on anybody because of the nature of our judicial system. It has always been slow.”

The incident led to a month-long suspension of the Ghana Premier League last season to allow consultations on enhanced safety and security measures.

Nsoatreman FC later withdrew from the league following the fallout from the tragedy.
