Speaking to Mr. Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng, the founder of Crime Check Foundation, Wisdom said that his brother called him around 12:32 am on Monday, February 6.

"He called around 12:32 after his match and we spoke till 1:00. I was sleepy at the time so I asked him to sleep too since he had played a match earlier but he said he wasn’t sleepy. We disconnected the call and I slept only to wake up in the morning to calls from a relative asking if I had seen the news. I replied in the negative and he asked me to check on social media,” he said.

The Ghanaian winger played and scored the winning goal in the last minute for his Turkish club, Hatayspor on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
