Barely minutes after touching down, Wednesday, from a trip to Morocco, embattled President of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi has been picked up by the police over alleged acts of bribery and influence peddling.
Officers of the Police Criminal Investigations Department stationed at the airport whisked Mr Nyantakyi from the Airport to the Police Headquarters where investigations began, Joy News’ Parker Wilson reported.
His lawyer, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, was present at the police HQ, to assist with investigations, Parker said.
The powerful FA president is accused of using the name of Ghana’s president and his vice to solicit monies from private businessmen who have plans to invest in the country.
Ghana’s president Nana Akufo-Addo, according to a Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has reported the alleged misconduct of the FA president to the Police CID after watching excerpts of the much-publicized investigative piece by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
