The Ghana Paralympic Committee says it knows nothing about a group of athletes from Ghana who went missing in Oslo, Norway.
The athletes were supposed to compete in a marathon, but they didn’t show up. One of them, Nana Antwi, was caught trying to leave Norway for Sweden.
The committee’s president, Samson Deen, says they had nothing to do with the team and didn’t help them get visas.
He wants people to ignore any letters or statements that say otherwise.
He clarifies, “We want to make things clear that the Ghana Paralympic Team has not applied for a visa, never has anybody, never has the NPC-Ghana, never have I signed any letter for and on behalf of the Ghana Paralympic Team and never have we or any of our assigns or officers of the Ghana Paralympic Team or the NPC-Ghana have applied for a visa at the Norwegian Embassy. What you have seen in the media is a forged letter.”
He further appeals, “I want to appeal to the people of Ghana that the pictures, the stories that are going viral have nothing to do with any member or anyone they see in the picture, none of them are involved, or have or are associated to these people. The letters that were sent with my signature on them were forged.”
