Frederick Acheampong of the GFA has criticized the Ghana Police Service’s investigation into Pooley’s murder, questioning how prime suspect Daniel Febiri evaded capture and fled to Senegal. Despite being hidden by his girlfriend for two weeks, the police failed to locate him. As developments unfold, public interest remains high ahead of Pooley’s funeral on March 6, 2025.
Frederick Acheampong, a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has raised serious concerns regarding the Ghana Police Service’s investigation into the murder of Kotoko fan Francis Yaw Frimpong, known as Pooley. He specifically questioned how Daniel Febiri, referred to as Braima, the principal suspect in the case, managed to evade capture and flee to Senegal. Acheampong expressed frustration over the police’s inability to locate Braima during the two weeks he allegedly hid at his girlfriend’s residence.
In a recent interview with Kessben FM, Acheampong called for greater proactivity from law enforcement and investigative agencies to ensure justice if Braima is found guilty. He noted, “Reports indicate that the girlfriend concealed the prime suspect between February 4 and 17, yet the police did not get a hint.” This situation has raised significant concerns, prompting him to question how the police could be searching for Braima while he remained undetected for such a lengthy period.
Further developments revealed that Braima fled to Senegal with assistance from his girlfriend, Grace Siaw. According to reports, she concealed him from authorities between February 4 and 17, 2025, resulting in her subsequent arrest for interrogation. The incident has highlighted serious oversight within the police investigation, as they failed to apprehend a prime suspect who was in close proximity for fourteen days.
Pooley’s funeral is set for March 6, 2025, as the case continues to stir public interest and debate. The community remains vigilant regarding the police’s handling of this sensitive case, especially with the impending discussions surrounding the appointment of Jordan Ayew as part of the Black Stars team.
In summary, Frederick Acheampong has voiced critical concerns about the Ghana Police Service’s handling of the investigation into Pooley’s murder, particularly how the prime suspect managed to escape law enforcement. The situation surrounding Daniel Febiri’s evasion emphasizes the urgent need for more effective investigative measures. With the suspect’s girlfriend now in custody for questioning, the public is closely monitoring developments ahead of Pooley’s funeral on March 6, 2025.
