An Asante Kotoko fan has emerged victorious in a legal battle against the Ghana Police after being shot in the eye, resulting in a GH₵600,000 court case win.
The fan, who was reportedly shot during a clash between fans and the police, filed a lawsuit against the Ghana Police for the traumatic incident. After a lengthy legal process, the court ruled in favor of the fan, awarding him GH₵600,000 in damages.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between football fans and law enforcement in Ghana, and serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of clashes between the two groups.
The court’s decision is seen as a victory for the fan and his supporters, and a reminder to law enforcement of the need to exercise restraint and de-escalation tactics when dealing with passionate football fans.
The fan’s win will likely serve as a precedent for future cases involving similar incidents, and stands as a victory for the rights of football fans in Ghana.
This ruling also serves as a reminder to all parties involved – including fans, law enforcement, and football clubs – of the need to prioritize safety and peaceful resolution in situations of conflict.
