My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and the entire football community.

As the Member of Parliament for Sunyani West, I strongly condemn the violence that led to this unfortunate incident. I will work closely with the Bono Regional Minister and security forces to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Football is a sport that unites us, and it is unacceptable that such a tragedy has occurred. I urge the Ghana Football Association to take immediate action to review and strengthen security protocols at all match venues to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Let us come together to promote peace, safety, and sportsmanship in our beloved sport”.
