The Chairman of Asante Kotoko's Interim Management Committee, Nana Akwasi Apinkra Awuah, has urged fans of the club to remain calm and allow the Ghana Police Service to deal with the matter involving the death of Francis Frimpong.
Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley, lost his life in a tragic moment during the Porcupine Warriors' Ghana Premier League matchday 19 fixture against Nsoatre in Nsoatreman as they were stabbed to death.
On Sunday, February 9, supporters of the club as well as management and the playing body held a vigil for the deceased at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Addressing the fans at the event, Nana Apinkra, encourage fans to stay calm as the Ghana Police Service continues investigation into the incident.
"It's been a week since Pooley's death. The matter is with the national security. The IGP has promised to help us. We are pleased with what he has done in the past week," he said.
"Don't act on what you have heard and what someone has done. Let's allow the law to delve into the matter. I promise you we will not allow this matter to go without answers.
"If you know anyone who has an information and can help in the matter, bring it to the Kotoko Secretariat so we add to the other findings we have."
So far, the Ghana Police Service has arrested six people in connection with the stabbing, with two, including former Sunyani West MP Ignatius Baffour Awuah, being granted bail.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has also met with all Premier League clubs as well as their supporters in the wake of the tragic incident.
