Ghana Premier League icon Emmanuel Yartey sadly passed away on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

According to sources, Yartey is set to be laid to rest today, following Muslim customs.

Yartey, renowned as one of the most electrifying wingers in the Ghana Premier League during the late 1990s, left an indelible mark playing for both of the country's prestigious clubs, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.

Recognised as a formidable right-winger with versatility to also play on the left, he earned the nickname "Dr. Panie" or "Doctor's Niddle."

Yartey has faced personal challenges in recent years, battling with mental illness. His heartbreaking condition came to public attention in 2017 when a distressing image of him went viral.

Since then, he had been under medical supervision until his unfortunate demise.
