GFA has gathered enough on the match fixing allegations – Henry Asante Twum

Communication Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum has refuted claims by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service indicating that no investigations has been done on the alleged match fixing scandal involving Obuasi AshantiGold and Inter Allies.

The infamous game ended 7-0 in favour of AshantiGold at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium where Hashmin Musah of Inter Allies scored a two quick own goals after coming off the bench.

The GFA who promised to fish out the perpetrators involved in the act and punish them before the current 2021/22 season kick started thus charged the two teams on the counts of misconduct for match manipulations.

They again noted in a presser that a formal complaint was lunched to the Ghana Police Service where investigations continues to unravel the culprits. But nothing has been heard on the matter in almost a year with some Ghanaians questioning the outcome of the matter.

However, the CID Boss, COP Ken Yeboah, opined that no investigation has been carried out by his outfit, citing failure on the part of the FA to lodge official complaint after reporting the matter verbally to the CID Headquarters in Accra.

“The GFA only came to our HQ to report on an alleged match-fixing in their league. We told them we are ready to pick it up since it’s a criminal offence in their regulations but we asked that they write an official statement detailing clubs involved etc. They told us they’ll come back with the statement”

“We never heard from them again till today. We had been waiting to hear from them since they left our office after the verbal complaint. All we heard was that they had started another league season. They didn’t submit any report and there’s no way we could commence investigations” COP Ken Yeboah told Saddick Adams.

Responding to the claims, Mr. Twum Asante described the CID Boss remarks as untrue saying the FA has gathered enough findings on the alleged match fixing scandal involving Obuasi Ashanti Gold and Inter Allies during the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League Season.

“It’s not true that we didn’t go back to the police again and with this, I’m speaking based on evidence. There are two publications on our visits”
