A bizarre incident has shaken the Ghanaian sporting community, with the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) facing intense scrutiny over a recent trip to Norway. A group of relatives, sent to retrieve the body of a deceased coach, have absconded in the European country, leaving authorities scrambling to unravel the mystery.
According to Samson Deen, President of the NPC, the relatives were initially denied visas, but later obtained forged documents and managed to enter Norway. However, upon arrival, they failed to return with the deceased coach’s body and instead disappeared. The four individuals have since been identified by authorities.
This is not the only controversy surrounding the Ghanaian para-athletes’ trip to Norway. In a separate incident, a team of 11 athletes who traveled for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon failed to register for the competition, with one member arrested while attempting to enter Sweden.
The NPC has come under intense criticism for its handling of the situation, with some accusing the organization of sending impostors to Norway. The President of the NPC has labelled the athletes as “imposters.” However, many are left wondering how such a scandal could have unfolded.
The matter has been reported to the police, and an investigation is currently underway. The incident has also raised concerns about the credibility and accountability of the Ghanaian National Paralympic Committee.
As news of the scandal spreads, many are left questioning what really happened during the trip and how such a situation could have been allowed to unfold. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in sports administration.
