DCOP Lydia Donkor, Chairperson of the Security Committee, has held a meeting with key stakeholders in the Brong Ahafo Region to foster unity amongst clubs and address the recent crowd violence at the Ghana Premier League match between Nsoatreman FC and Asante Kotoko.
The meeting was attended by prominent officials, including Felix Bewu, member of the Security Committee, Charles Osei Anto, Chairman of the Brong Ahafo Regional Football Association, ACP Dela Djansi, Sunyani Divisional Police Commander, and Superintendent Francis Numado, Sunyani District Police Commander as well as representatives from various football clubs in the region.
This gathering is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of players, officials, and spectators at various League centres following the violent incidents at the Nana Koronamansah Park which led to the death Francis Yaw Frimpong, (Nana Poole) a staunch supporter of Asante Kotoko SC.
The match, which ended 1-0 in favor of Nsoatreman FC, was marred by chaos, with players from both teams clashing during the game, leading the referee to issue four red cards – three to Asante Kotoko (Justice Blay, Michael Kyei Dwamena, and Mohammed Camara) and one to Nsoatreman FC (Stephen Diyou). The situation escalated after the final whistle, with violent confrontations breaking out between the fans.
In response to the violence, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has charged Nsoatreman FC and indefinitely banned the Nana Koronmansah Park.
DCOP Donkor’s expertise in security matters, gained from her experience will be invaluable in addressing this issue and preventing future incidents.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
