The committee, chaired by Ambassador Major (RTD) Amarkai Amarteifio, was inaugurated by the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams (MP) on 8th April 2025 following the unfortunate incident that occurred during a sanctioned boxing match on 29th March at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

Over the course of its work, the committee interviewed eyewitness, medical personnel, sporting officials and reviewed at relevant footages and documentation related to the bout.

Per the Ministry, the committee's primary objective was to ''ascertain the circumstances surrounding the boxer's death and to identify any gaps in safety protocols, medical responses, or regulatory compliance.''

The Ministry, however, did not disclose the committee's recommendations.
