Asante Kotoko remains deeply pained by the tragic and senseless events that led to the murder of our cherished supporter, Francis Yaw Frimpong. The wounds from that dark day have not healed, and our resolve for justice remains as strong as ever.

 

After careful consideration and consultations with our medical department, the club has been advised that our senior team should resume training from tomorrow to ensure the physical and mental well-being of our players. While the pain of recent events still lingers, we recognize the need to maintain the fitness and sharpness of our squad as we continue to demand accountability for the heinous acts committed against our club and our supporters.

 

In the pursuit of justice, we have held extensive engagements with the Minister of Sports, Hon. Kofi Adams, the Minister of Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, and the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare. These discussions have reassured us that the wheels of justice are in motion, and we are convinced that those responsible for this dastardly crime will be held to account. We, however, take this opportunity to plead with the Attorney General’s department to intensify their efforts to ensure that this case is pursued with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Justice delayed is justice denied, and we will not rest until the perpetrators face the full force of the law.

 

We also want to make it abundantly clear that this decision to resume training does not in any way alter our stance regarding footballing activities. Our position remains unchanged; we will not compete in any official matches until meaningful and decisive actions are taken to secure justice and protect the future of our game.

 

Asante Kotoko remains a symbol of strength and unity, and we are committed to honoring the memory of Francis Yaw Frimpong by ensuring that such senseless violence never happens again.
