During the meeting, Okraku also briefed the IMC on the security measures the GFA is implementing to enhance safety at match venues. He emphasized that the GFA stands in solidarity with Asante Kotoko and the broader football community during this difficult time.
“The GFA is committed to ensuring that justice is served not only for football but also for the Asante Kotoko family and in memory of Nana Pooley,” he added.
