By this, we are working tirelessly with the Ghana Police Service, Nsoatreman Football Club and all relevant stakeholders to bring the perpetrators of this unsporting behaviour to book.”

Following a goalless draw against Nsoatreman on Sunday, the management of Ghana Premier League team Bofoakwa Tano denounced the aggressive attitude of certain supporters at the Sunyani Coronation Park.

The closely contested match between the two clubs on Matchday 11 ended goalless, but the aftermath took a dangerous turn when a mob of supporters allegedly assaulted players and Nsoatreman’s coach, Maxwell Konadu, hospitalised him.
