The National Paralympic Committee (NPC) of Ghana is facing intense criticism and embarrassment after a series of shocking incidents involving fake athletes and impostors.
In a bizarre turn of events, a group of individuals posed as a paralympic team and traveled to Norway for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon, only to disappear upon arrival. The athletes never participated in the event, leaving organizers and officials stunned.
But that was not the end of the scandal. In a further twist, four individuals claiming to be relatives of the team’s coach were sent to Norway to retrieve his body after he supposedly passed away. However, these “relatives” also vanished upon arrival in Norway, leaving many to wonder if the coach had ever actually died.
The NPC president, Samson Deen, revealed the shocking details on the Asaase Breakfast Show, leaving many to question the organization’s credibility and management.
This scandal follows an earlier incident where 11 athletes failed to register for the same marathon, despite traveling to Norway for the event. The Ministry of National Security has issued a statement condemning the actions of the fake athletes and impostors.
The NPC’s reputation has taken a severe hit, with many calling for accountability and reform within the organization. As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: the NPC must take immediate action to restore trust and credibility in Ghana’s paralympic community.
