Sources say he showed no signs of illness before the game and even shared in the excitement when Arsenal scored their first, second, and third goals.
According to a friend who wished to remain anonymous, the late inspector was found unconscious after the match ended.
“Before the match, he was hale and hearty, there was no issue whatsoever, that we know of, because he is a very quiet and soft spoken guy, who loves football, and a diehard Arsenal fan.
“He is an Inspector of Police with Akim Police Division. We were all watching the game, his team scored the first goal, and he was so excited, same with the second and third goals.
“He jumped up all in jubilation to each of these goals; we didn’t know that as he sat back in his chair waiting for the final whistle, Stephen was gone.
“We only discovered that he was not moving after the game, when everyone was leaving the viewing centre, and he didn’t stand up like others.
“That was when we discovered he was no longer conscious. He was rushed to the Police hospital at Akim, where the health professionals did everything they could to revive him, but all their efforts proved abortive, as he was confirmed dead.”
