Otumfuo Osei Tutu II takes a bold stand, demands justice for Pooley

In response to the growing calls for accountability, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who serves as Kotoko’s owner and life patron, has broken his silence in a newly surfaced video.

His words were not mere appeals but direct orders—a clear and urgent demand for immediate arrests and thorough investigations to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Expressing his deep displeasure over the senseless act of violence, Otumfuo did not mince words:

"What is the essence of killing a human being because of a football game? It is alleged that Pooley's death was premeditated.

"So I will plead with you to ensure the necessary investigations are done to bring the perpetrators to book. This is a civilised country, governed by law, so no one can put the laws in his own hands to commit such dastardly acts."

The Asantehene’s declaration has intensified pressure on law enforcement, leaving no room for inaction.
