Maxwell Konadu visits Kotoko supporter who got shot by Police after Berekum Chelsea match

Published on: 20 January 2020

Head coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Maxwell Konadu has paid a visit to the supporter of the club who was shot by a Police officer earlier in the season when the side lost 1-0 to Berekum Chelsea.

The unfortunate incident happened on Match Week 3 of the ongoing 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season when the giants hosted the Berekum-based club at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

In the second half of the match, fans of Kotoko felt being cheated by the center referee and threw foreign objects onto the pitch to express their displeasure. Their anger continued until the end of the match as they tried to deal with the referee.

Following tense moments, a fan by name Augustine Opoku was shot by a Police Officer and subsequently had to be rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Eight days later, coach Maxwell Konadu has visited the injured supporter to check on his condition.

A post on Kotoko's Twitter handle read: “Maxwell Konadu this afternoon visited Augustine Opoku, victim of last week's Baba Yara Stadium shooting incident".

It continued, “Our brother is doing well and even asked that we beat Hearts for him on Sunday".
