GFA Executive Council members Dr Gifty Oware-Mensah and Frederick Acheampong led the delegation. They were joined by Ashanti RFA Vice-Chairman Isaac Adu Gasper, Colts Football Chairman Kwabena Owusu Dankwa and Referees Manager David Kumah.

The wider group included Ashanti RFA Security Coordinator Moro Iddrisu, Ashanti RFA Secretary Ntim Andrews, Fabulous Ladies FC President Habiba Atta Forson and the club’s CEO, Augustine Nana Atuahene.

Dreamz Ladies FC President Owura Adomako, Kumasi Sports Academy CEO Foster Antwi and Regional Driver Sulemana Yussif also attended the visit.

Agartha reportedly combined her football career with commercial tricycle operations, popularly known as “pragya”, to earn a living.

Initial reports suggest that the young footballer was killed after accepting a request to transport a passenger. The person who reportedly hired her services is alleged to have attacked her with a knife.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and the precise sequence of events and details of the alleged attack have yet to be officially established. Two suspects have reportedly been arrested.
