Former Accra Hearts of Oak striker Emmanuel Osei Kuffour has blamed Kotoko fans for the 2001 May 9 disaster at the Accra sports stadium.
The stadium disaster took the lives of 127 people, making it the worst stadium disaster to have ever taken place in Africa.
It occurred during a match between Ghana's two most successful football teams, Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
According to Kuffour who featured for Hearts on the day, the unprecedented incident was as a result of the bad conduct of some Kotoko fans at the stadium.
“The behavior of the Kotoko fans brought about the incident. They started it all.” Kuffour told JOY Sports.
