Tema West Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwasi Poku, has urged the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to ensure justice for the deceased Kotoko fan, Francis Yaw Frimpong, also known as Pooley.

He emphasized that the Asantehene should use his influence to suspend the Ghana Premier League until the investigation is completed and justice is served to Pooley's family.

Poku called for the Kotoko community to unite and hold the authorities accountable, honoring Pooley's unwavering support for the club.

During an interview with Angel FM, Poku praised Pooley's steadfast support for Kotoko, which he said added excitement to the league.

"Otumfuo should stand firm and ensure that the league is suspended, even if it takes six months, to ensure justice is served. Pooley was a lively supporter who made the game interesting.

"He would travel long distances to watch matches and even buy his own ticket without the team's support. He once traveled from Kumasi to support Kotoko at Kwaebibirem. We need to encourage such dedicated fans, not harm them," he said in Twi.

He also commended the Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, for his swift actions in handling the case.

"The IGP has handled the issue well so far, and his speed in working on the case is commendable," he added.
