\n
It has been reported that family members of the Ghanaian Paralympic coach who died in Norway following the national Paralympic team\u2019s participation in the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon in Oslo have also absconded after being sent to the country following his death.<\/p>\n
A report by ace journalist Bright Kankam Boadu indicates that following the death of the coach, who has been identified as George Gyamfi Gyasi, three family members were delegated to Norway to oversee the burial process.<\/p>\n
However, upon arriving in the country, the three family members also absconded and are now being sought by the Norwegian authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the death of the Ghanaian coach, some family members were sent to Norway to perform certain rites. The three family members who were sent have also absconded,\u201d he said on Kumasi-based Pure FM.<\/p>\n
The latest development adds to the bizarre story of how an 11-member Paralympic team fled upon arrival in Norway.<\/p>\n
Providing further details on the issue, Saddick Adams of Angel Broadcasting Network said, \u201cGyasi, who led the team, did not collapse; rather, the head coach succumbed to a serious illness that led to his admission to Oslo University Hospital (ULEVAL).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe scandal came to light after the head coach felt unwell. He couldn\u2019t deal with the weather at the time, so he passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Paralympics team has become topical after the president of the National Paralympics Committee, Samson Deen, revealed that the said 11-member team who absconded in Norway forged documents to secure visas and embark on the trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey forged my signature on the letter and applied for visas for some people who have no affiliation with the Ghana Paralympic Team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Samson Deen\u2019s explanation came after National Security Minister Albert Kan-Dapaah, in a signed letter dated July 3, 2024, reported the incident of 9 of the 11 Paralympic team members being on the run.<\/p>\n
The letter noted that the team was expected to participate in the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon on April 27, 2024.<\/p>\n
