ToggleRelatives Sent to Norway to Retrieve Paralympic Coach’s Body Also Ran Away
In a recent development, four relatives sent to Norway to bring back the body of a deceased para-athlete have absconded after arriving in the country. This information was revealed by Samson Deen, the president of the National Paralympic Committee, during an interview on the Asaase Breakfast Show.
The Ministry of National Security disclosed that 11 athletes were supposed to participate in a marathon but failed to register for the competition. Among the contingent, one member was arrested while attempting to enter Sweden, and the team’s coach, George Gyamfi Gyasi, tragically passed away in a hospital after collapsing.
Samson Deen described the para-team as imposters and revealed that the deceased coach’s relatives, who were sent to retrieve his body, also disappeared upon landing in Norway. “Initially, six or seven people applied for visas and were denied. They forged the necessary documents, and upon arrival, they absconded, resulting in one death,” Deen explained, as reported by Asaase Radio.
“The families of the deceased later requested permission to travel to Norway to retrieve the body. They went, but instead of bringing the corpse back, the four relatives absconded. These individuals have been identified,” Deen added.
The Paralympic Committee has reported the incident to the police, and investigations into the matter are ongoing.
