{{Ghanaian Twenty-One (21) old class III referee, Kyei Andoh, met his untimely death on Saturday following severe beatings he received from angry supporters, for awarding a last-minute penalty against their team.}}<\/p>\n
Referee Kyei Andoh, a teacher in Boodea in the Western Region, was physically assaulted by the home fans [fans of Gold Stars] during and after the game played last Sunday.<\/p>\n
He had officiated a Division Two League game between Najoe United and Gold Stars at Boodea on Friday, which ended 2-1 in favour of the away team, Gold Stars.<\/p>\n
Retired referee T.K Aggrey confirmed the incident on Asempa Fm’s ‘Score Board’ programme Sunday, hosted by Enoch Worlanyo also known as Professor Wallas.<\/p>\n
“It was so, so sickening and sad. I went to commission a match elsewhere, got wind of the incident and passed by. It is so sad, the young referee is dead,” Mr. T.K Aggrey grieved.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old did not seek medical care, according to reports \u2013 believed to have led to his untimely death a few days later.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brother had told us he was going to officiate a match and when he returned he told us of an incident that occurred in the match,\u201d the deceased older brother Kweku Andoh Kyei narrated to Professor Wallas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat the home team assaulted him of the sort.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was even joking about the issue that one guy gave him a slap while others manhandled him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then on Friday I was called and told that my brother was vomiting blood and had fainted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was later called only to be told that he has passed away,” Kweku said.<\/p>\n
