Reports from sportsworldghana.com suggest that the irate fans took action following a string of poor performances by the team in the Ghana Premier League.
With Asante Kotoko plummeting to the 11th position on the league table after suffering seven defeats in nine games, the supporters expressed their dissatisfaction by demanding the dismissal of head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum and his technical staff.

Efforts by the IMC’s president, Nana Appiah Apinkra, to calm the angry fans proved futile as they remained resolute in their demand for the coaching staff’s departure.
In a tweet shared by sports journalist Listowel Mensah, it was revealed that after sacking the team from using the training facility, the fans took over and conducted their own training session on the Adako Jachie pitch.
This incident echoes a similar situation in 2017 during the tenure of Serbian coach Zdravko Lugarusic, when angry fans stormed the team’s training grounds and prevented the head coach from conducting training sessions due to poor performances.
