A statement on the club’s official website has asked supporters and all to pray for the club.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has described the accident as “devastating and sad”.

According to a statement from the association, it “has established contact with the club, and our thoughts and prayers are with Kumasi Asante Kotoko, particularly the injured officials and players, who are currently receiving treatment at the Holy Family Hospital in Nkawkaw.”

The players and officials suffered double agony as they were robbed off their belongings including laptops, mobile phones and undiclosed amount of money by persons who were thought to be rescues and sympathizers who attended to them moments after the crash.
