Augustine Oppong, who lost his right eye after a Police officer shot at him at the Baba Yara Stadium in January 2020, has had his eye replaced this morning.

An artificial eye has been fixed on the ardent fan after a successful surgery at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi a short while ago.

This marks the beginning of the former commercial driver’s full recovery from the incident that left four pellets of rubber bullets in his face.

Oppong was shot at close range by a Police officer during supporters agitation following our Premier League home defeat to Berekum Chelsea.

Kotoko Express App can confirm that, the surgical operation to replace the damaged eye was also funded by the NCC.

It can be recalled that Asante Kotoko wunderkind Matthew Anim Cudjoe donated GHC 1000 of his winning bonus from the Hearts of Oak game to Augustine Oppong.

The Porcupines beat their arch-rivals 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, January 26 in the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League matchday 6 with the youngster playing a key role in the win.
