Captain Smart Criticises Nana Pooley’s Family Over Treatment of Deceased’s Wife and Children

• Ghanaian broadcast journalist Captain Smart has criticised the family of late Asante Kotoko fan Nana Pooley
• This was after the late football fan's family allegedly asked the Asantehene to only care for his two biological children
• Captain Smart deems this development as unfair, noting that the family knew Nana Pooley's wife had four children before marrying him

Popular Ghanaian broadcast journalist Captain Smart has criticised the family of the late Asante Kotoko fan, Nana Pooley, over their raging feud with the deceased's wife.

The outspoken media personality accused the late football fan's family of discriminating against his children.

Captain Smart made these remarks in response to a press conference by Nana Pooley's family, where they asked the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to take care of only his biological children.

Recall that Nana Pooley tragically lost his life in an act of hooliganism at Nsoatre during a Ghana Premier League fixture involving Asante Kotoko and Nsoatreman FC.

The deceased football fan left behind a wife and six children, with four of the kids being Pooley's kids with another lady.

Following his unfortunate demise, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the king of the Ashanti Kingdom and owner of the Kotoko Football Club, pledged to care for all six children.

However, this kind gesture appears to be creating division in the late football fan's family, with his siblings and mother requesting that the Asantehene cater only for the two biological children.

Reacting to the raging family feud between Nana Pooley's siblings and his wife, the broadcast journalist said it was unfair for them to ask the Otumfuo not to cater for all the children.

"When the lady married your son, you knew she already had four kids, yet you agreed to the marriage. The money Otumfuo pledged for the kids, the family has no share in it," he said.
