The girlfriend of Daniel Febiri, also known as Braima, the prime suspect in the murder of Francis Yaw Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley, has been arrested. Grace Siaw, the girlfriend, is accused of harboring Febiri and assisting him in fleeing to Senegal.
According to reports, Siaw allegedly helped Febiri escape to Senegal via Côte d'Ivoire between February 4 and 17. Her actions are believed to have hindered the police investigation into Nana Pooley's murder.
Nana Pooley, a devoted supporter of Asante Kotoko, was fatally stabbed in Nsoatre on February 2, 2025, following a match between Kotoko and Nsoatreman. His death has sparked widespread public concern and outrage.
The police have been investigating the murder, and Febiri is currently the prime suspect. However, his escape to Senegal has complicated the investigation, and the police are working to extradite him to face justice.
Siaw's arrest is a significant development in the case, and she has been charged with harboring a suspect and assisting him in escaping justice. She has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to reappear in court on March 3.
Asante Kotoko, the football club that Nana Pooley supported, has condemned the murder and has been following the investigation closely. The club has urged its supporters to remain calm and allow the legal process to take its course.
The case has highlighted the need for cooperation between law enforcement agencies in different countries to bring perpetrators of crime to justice. The police are working to ensure that Febiri is extradited to face trial for Nana Pooley's murder.
