Accra, July 21, GNA – Mr. Samson Deen, President of the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) – Ghana has said it is not involved in the recent Norway visa scandal, reported recently in the media.
There were reports of 11 athletes and officials, who absconded during a competition in Norway in April this year, without participating in the competition.
According to the reports, one was arrested, whilst one other person collapsed and died upon arrival, with rest on the run.
A statement from the NPC copied to the GNA Sports said the information was false and maliciously misleading because the said team was not part of the NPC and does not represent the country.
It said, “the attention of the NPC-Ghana has been drawn to a news item and a letter from the National Security captioned ‘Ghana Paralympic Team Absconds upon arrival in Oslo”.
