The National Paralympic Committee in Ghana has disclosed that four family members who were sent to retrieve the body of the coach of the \u2018Paralympic team\u2019 that absconded in Norway, have also gone missing after their arrival.<\/p>\n
The NPC and Ghana\u2019s Sports Ministry were hit with a visa scandal on Saturday, July 21, 2024, after it emerged that 11 people fled after arriving in Oslo for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon. The para-athletes, who have been identified as fake, failed to take part in the competition and ran away to other Schengen nations.<\/p>\n
According to Ghanian Media, One person has been arrested while the coach of the team George Gyamfi Gyasi collapsed and d!ed subsequently in Norway.<\/p>\n
According to the president of the National Paralympic Committee, Mr Samson Deen, four relatives of the coach who were sent to bring back his corpse have also absconded.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at the first application, it was six or seven people they applied for initially. They were denied visas, they got the letters they wanted subsequently forged, but upon arrival, they absconded, and one died,\u201d he told Asaase Radio, as quoted by Pulse Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey subsequently wrote to the Norwegian embassy again and requested to send the families of the one who d!ed. The people went, they couldn\u2019t bring the corpse. The four also absconded, these guys are known. They\u2019ve been identified.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Deen also disclosed that the \u2018fake team\u2019 forged documents to secure their visas for the competition.<\/p>\n
Angry Ghanaian citizens have called for an investigation into how they used the office of the NPC and the sports ministry to travel.<\/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
\u201cFor this matter, the two remaining individuals have been suspended from anything that has to do with Paralympic Sports in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
