A
fake
paralympic
team,
representing
Ghana
has
absconded
to
other
Schengen
states
after
arriving
in
Norway
earlier
this
year
to
prepare
for
the
Fjordkraft
Bergen
City
Marathon.
An
11-member
team
failed
to
register
and
participate
in
the
competition
slated
for
late
April
in
Norway.
In
a
document
released
by
the
National
Security
Authority,
a
member
of
the
team
was
earlier
apprehended
and
detained
in
late
April
by
Norwegian
security
officials
after
attempting
to
depart
to
Sweden.
In
the
document,
it
was
also
revealed
that
George
Gyamfi
Gyasi,
the
team
coach
collapsed
and
was
admitted
to
the
Oslo
University
hospital
and
subsequently
died
on
May
17,
2024.
The
Norwegian
embassy
in
Accra,
“has
issued
alerts
to
other
Schengen
and
West
Diplomatic
Missions
in
Accra
to
help
apprehend
and
repatriate
the
team
members.”
The
search
for
the
team
members
is
currently
ongoing.
Meanwhile,
the
National
Paralympic
Committee
has
disassociated
themselves
from
the
above
group
of
people
and
suspended
Mr
Theodore
Mawuli
Viwotor,
Mr
Ernest
Yaw
Ayisi
and
Enestay
Foundation
indefinitely
for
their
involvement
in
the
matter.
