Four relatives sent to Norway to bring body of late “paralympic coach” have also ran away

President of the National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC-Ghana), Samson Deen has revealed that four relatives of the deceased coach of the “fake paralympic team” George Gyamfi Gyasi, who were sent to retrieve his body have also absconded after touching down in Norway.

Mr Deen disclosed this during an interview on Asaase Breakfast Show on Monday, July 22.

“If 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.”

“They subsequently wrote to the Norwegian embassy again and requested to send the families of the one who died. The people went, they couldn’t bring the corpse. The four also absconded, these guys are known. They’ve been identified,” he said.

The NPC-Ghana has come under criticisms after some para-athletes, who travelled for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon disappeared after touching down in Oslo.

A statement from the Ministry of National Security said 11 athletes were supposed to show up for the marathon but failed to even register for the competition.

A member of the contingent was arrested trying to enter Sweden while the team’s coach, George Gyamfi Gyasi died at the Oslo University Hospital.

While Mr Deen described the supposed athletes as imposters, he also revealed that relatives of the deceased coach sent to bring his corpse back to Ghana have also ran away.
