Reports suggest that 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.

Kotoko Circles hold a press conference

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.

The group alleged that Baffour Awuah, a former Minister of Labour and Employment, signalled his supporters to attack Pooley even after apologising to him after an earlier encounter.
