The management of Asante Kotoko, in collaboration with its supporters’ leadership, has announced a special night vigil to honour the memory of Francis Yaw Frimpong, affectionately known as Nana Pooley.
Pooley tragically lost his life after being fatally stabbed by unknown attackers during Asante Kotoko’s Matchday 19 clash against Nsoatreman FC at Nana Kronmansah Park in Nsoatre.

The vigil is scheduled for Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. It will serve as both a tribute to Pooley’s life and a continued call for justice following his untimely death.
Asante Kotoko has extended an open invitation to all supporters, football lovers, and the general public to take part in this solemn event.
“We encourage all attendees to bring candles as we unite to honour our departed brother,” the club’s management stated in an official release.
Beyond remembering Pooley, the vigil is also part of a larger movement by the club and its supporters to push for improvements in safety and security at football venues across Ghana.
This initiative highlights the deep sense of unity within the Asante Kotoko family, as they stand together to demand accountability and honour a life lost too soon.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has arrested six individuals in connection with Pooley’s murder, including the owner of Nsoatreman FC, Ignatius Baffour Awuah.
