The National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC-Ghana) has vehemently denied any connection to the disappearance of a so-called Ghanaian Paralympic team, insisting it did not send any representatives to the Norway marathon.
In a statement provided to Metro TV, NPC-Ghana explained that the individuals involved, Theodore Mawuli Viworor and Ernest Yaw Ayisi of the Ernestay Disability Foundation, had admitted to facilitating the trip with forged letters from NPC-Ghana and the defunct Ghana Amputee Football Association.
The committee emphasized that these individuals are not associated with NPC-Ghana and their actions constitute impersonation and misrepresentation.
NPC-Ghana reiterated that it has not applied to the Norwegian Embassy to facilitate a Paralympic team’s travel to Norway or sponsored a team to participate in any international competition in Norway.
The committee urged media outlets to retract their stories and apologize, stressing the importance of accurate reporting and protecting disability sports.
NPC-Ghana expressed its commitment to promoting disability sports and ensuring that its athletes receive the support they deserve.
