The Sunyani District Court ‘B’ has granted GH₵300,000 bail with two sureties each—one to be justified—to the two female suspects arrested in connection with the murder of Francis Frimpong, a supporter of Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC.
When they appeared before the court on Monday, Presiding Judge Eric Daning directed suspects Elizabeth Akosua Ntiriwaa, also known as “Akosua Black Chinese,” and Yaa Asantewaa to report to the police twice every week.
As part of their bail conditions, the suspects cannot travel outside the Sunyani Municipality without judicial approval for the first 14 days.
They have been charged with “abetment to commit crime, to wit murder” under Sections 20(1) and 46 of the Criminal Offenses Act 1960 (Act 29) and are scheduled to reappear in court on Monday, February 17, 2025.
The court, however, ordered the police to keep two other suspects, Isaac Fosu and Augustine Yeboah, in custody for further investigations.
The deceased, popularly known as “Pooley,” was stabbed to death on Sunday, February 2, 2025, when Nsoatreman FC hosted Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC on matchday 19 of the Ghana Premier League at the Nsoatre Professor Amoah Koromansah II Stadium.
So far, the police have arrested seven suspects in connection with the crime, including Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, owner of Nsoatreman FC, Joseph Kyeremeh, popularly known as “Santos,” and Agyemang Duah Owusu, a police inspector.
