It has emerged that four persons posing as relatives who were sent to retrieve the body of the coach of the “fake paralympic team” that went to Norway have also absconded after touching down in the European country.

The National Paralympic Committee (NPC) has come under strong criticism after some para-athletes who travelled for the Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon eloped after touching down in Oslo.

A statement from the Ministry of National Security said 11 athletes were supposed to show up for the marathon but failed to even register for the competition.

While the president of the Paralympic Committee has described the para-team as imposters, he further revealed that relatives of the deceased who were sent to bring his corpse back to Ghana have also absconded after landing in Norway.

He further assured “If you look at the first application, it was six or seven people they applied for initially. They were denied visas, they got the letters they wanted subsequently forged, but upon arrival, they absconded, and one died,” Samson Deen is quoted as saying by Asaaseradio.com.

Meanwhile, the Paralympic Committee has reported the matter to the police, with investigations into the scandal ongoing.
