The Ghana Police Service has arrested former Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, along with two others, in connection with a violent clash during a football match that resulted in one death.
The incident occurred on February 2, 2025, during a match between Nsoatreman FC and Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC at Nsoatre in the Bono Region.
The other suspects, identified as Agyemang Duah Owusu and Kyeremeh Joseph, are also in police custody.
In a statement issued on February 3, the police confirmed that all three suspects are assisting with investigations.
“A search conducted in the room of suspect Agyemang Duah Owusu led to the retrieval of two dresses with suspected bloodstains and an MP 23 pistol with 15 rounds of ammunition.”
The Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has expressed condolences to the family of the deceased and the leadership of Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC. He assured them of a comprehensive investigation.
A special team from the Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters has been deployed to assist the Bono Regional Police Command in the ongoing investigation.
The game, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for Kotoko, was marred by heated confrontations both on and off the pitch.
Tensions escalated when players clashed, prompting the referee to issue four red cards. The situation spiraled further out of control after the final whistle, leading to violent scenes between rival supporters.

Classic chiffon gowns are a timeless choice for women who want to look effortlessly elegant. The lightweight fabric flows gracefully, creating a soft and feminine silhouette that enhances natural beauty. Chiffon gowns are incredibly versatile, suitable for various occasions, whether it’s a formal event, a wedding, or a night out.
