The hunt for Braima: More details emerge

Asante Kotoko, the club Pooley adored, provided an update on the case in a statement on March 3 via their official X (formerly Twitter) account.

According to the club, the Ghana Police Service has arrested a woman named Grace Siaw, believed to be the fugitive’s girlfriend.

Investigations revealed that between February 4 and 17, Grace allegedly sheltered the suspect before facilitating his escape to Senegal through Côte d'Ivoire.

She was arraigned before court on February 25, where she was remanded into custody.

Her next court appearance is scheduled for today, and Kotoko have vowed to do everything possible to ensure justice is served.

Amidst the ongoing pursuit of justice, Kotoko have also taken action against one of the country's leading sports broadcasters, Asempa FM, a subsidiary of the Multimedia Group.

The decision stems from controversial comments made by one of the station’s journalists. Professor E.K. Wallace, regarding Pooley’s death.

While official reports confirm that Pooley lost his life in a violent confrontation between rival supporters at the stadium, Asempa FM's EK Wallace publicly claimed that he died at a "wee-smoking base."

This statement has infuriated the Porcupine Warriors, prompting them to impose a media ban on the station, effective March 3.

The directive prohibits Asempa FM from covering any Kotoko-related activities, including press conferences, matches, and official engagements, until further notice.

Kotoko’s return to football action

As the club continues to mourn one of its most passionate fans, the focus will soon shift back to football.

The Porcupine Warriors will return to competitive action after Pooley’s burial, slated for March 6, with their next assignment set for March 12 against Eleven Wise in the MTN FA Cup Round of 16, per Ghanafa.org.
