Concerns Raised Over Police Investigation in Pooley’s Murder Case

Frederick Acheampong of the GFA expressed concerns about the Ghana Police’s investigation into the murder of Kotoko supporter Francis Yaw Frimpong, questioning how prime suspect Daniel Febiri avoided capture and escaped to Senegal. His girlfriend allegedly concealed him for nearly two weeks, prompting further scrutiny of police efforts. The girlfriend has been arrested as authorities intensify their search for Febiri, with Pooley’s funeral set for March 6, 2025.

Frederick Acheampong, a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has expressed serious concerns regarding the investigation by the Ghana Police Service into the death of Kotoko supporter Francis Yaw Frimpong, known as Pooley. He specifically questioned the police’s capability in apprehending Daniel Febiri, the prime suspect in Pooley’s murder, who allegedly fled to Senegal.

Acheampong highlighted his frustration over the police’s failure to locate Febiri during the two-week period he was reportedly concealed at his girlfriend’s residence. He urged the police and relevant investigative bodies to adopt a more proactive approach, emphasizing the importance of taking decisive action once evidence is obtained against the suspect.

In an interview with Kessben FM, Acheampong remarked, “Reports indicate that the girlfriend concealed the prime suspect between February 4 and 17, yet the police did not get a hint. I am surprised because the police are looking for him, yet the girlfriend hid him for that long. It’s a major concern.” He further questioned how Febiri could remain hidden in a location of interest for an extended duration without detection.

According to updates from the Kotoko club, it is believed that Braima fled to Senegal with the assistance of his girlfriend, Grace Siaw. Recent reports have confirmed that the girlfriend has been apprehended for interrogation by the police, as they intensify their search for the prime suspect, Braima. Pooley’s funeral is scheduled for March 6, 2025, amidst ongoing discussions about the situation.

In conclusion, Frederick Acheampong’s concerns underscore the challenges faced by the Ghana Police Service in the investigation of Pooley’s murder. The prime suspect’s escape raises critical questions about law enforcement capabilities and the need for improved investigatory efficiency. As the investigation progresses, the community remains watchful for justice following the tragic death of a devoted football fan.
