Four Relatives Sent to Norway to Retrieve Body of “Paralympic Coach” Go Missing — NPC-Ghana President Reveals
Samson Deen, President of the National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC-Ghana), has revealed that four relatives sent to Norway to retrieve the body of George Gyamfi Gyasi, the deceased coach involved in the “fake paralympic team” scandal, have gone missing. This disclosure follows criticism faced by NPC-Ghana after several para-athletes who traveled for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon disappeared upon arrival in Oslo.
The Ministry of National Security had initially reported that 11 athletes were scheduled to participate in the marathon but failed to register for the event. One member of the contingent was arrested while attempting to enter Sweden, and the team’s coach, George Gyamfi Gyasi, passed away at Oslo University Hospital.
In an interview on Asaase Radio on July 22, Mr. Deen described the athletes as imposters and revealed the troubling fate of the coach’s relatives. “Initially, six or seven people applied for visas but were denied. They managed to forge the necessary documents and travel, but upon arrival, they absconded. One person died,” Mr. Deen stated.
He further explained that after the death of the coach, a new request was made to the Norwegian embassy to send the deceased coach’s relatives to retrieve his body. However, these four relatives also went missing after arriving in Norway, failing to bring back the corpse.

“The four relatives sent to bring the body back have also absconded. These individuals are known and have been identified,” Mr. Deen added.
This situation has intensified scrutiny on NPC-Ghana and its handling of the para-athletes’ trip, as well as the ongoing challenges in managing the fallout from the fraudulent activities surrounding the marathon.
