According to multiple reports, Nsoatreman supporters allegedly wanted to attack Pooley over claims that he had insulted the club owner, Ignatius Baffour Awuah.

To save him from the attack, some Kotoko supporters helped the deceased to get out of the match venue.

However, he was allegedly ambushed by some other Nsoatreman FC supporters, with one stabbing him in the ribs. Images that surfaced on social media showed Pooley lying on the ground, struggling for his life as others tried to help him.

Following the incident, the official supporters union of Asante Kotoko held a press conference on Monday, February 3, 2025, calling for the arrest of the Nsoatreman owner, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, and Akosua Black Chinese.

When she failed at that she allegedly called the suspected killer who was reportedly not at the stadium to come and stab the deceased.

The group explained that Pooley had been advised to leave the stadium due to agitations by some supporters of the home team for him to be attacked. It was while he left that he was ambushed and stabbed.
