The 34-year-old made the shocking revelation at theSynagogueChurchinNigeriaof an attempt to have him throwGhana’s second group game against CzechRepublic at the mundial staged inGermany.
Kingstonhowever said he refused the bribe upon the advice of his wife who is now being accused of being a witch.
The revelation has raised several concerns at the Ghana FA with Executive Committee member Wilfred Osei (Parma) demanding a full disclosure of the ‘conspiracy’.
And Nyantakyi who was a year into his fresh administration during the World Cup appears to be in favour of a move to gather more facts on the potential scandal.
“I also heard it (Kingston’s revelation) through the media and I don’t know whether it is true,” Nyantakyi told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“As it is now, it is still a rumour. The matter has not been officially brought before us but we will probe further to see whether it is even true then we will advice ourselves of what to do.”
Kingston made the revelation at the church headed by controvercial Nigerian Pastor T.B Joshua in a desperate attempt to prove his wife was not a witch.

wHAT IS NYANTAKYI TALKING ABOUT?
DEDE AND JORDAN,KWADWO ASAMOAH AND AGYEMAN BADU STAYED WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE TEAMS TO PLAY FOR THEIR SO CALLED IMPORTANT MATCHES BEFORE THEY REPORTED AT CAMP IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR THE LAST AFCON WHERE GHANA GAVE A LACKAIDISICAL PERFORMANCE.
WHEN NYANTAKYI WAS QUISSED BY THE MEDIA WHY HE ALLOWED THE PLAYERS TO STAY WITH THEIR TEAMS WHEN HE COULD APPLY THE FIFA RULE,KNOWING HOW MUCH MARSEILLE AND UDINESE PUT IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT,HE SAID ”WE ALLOW THEM TO STAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MARSEILLE AND UDINESE.
IF ANYTHING AT ALL,WE CANNOT DO MUCH ABOUT OLELE’S CONFFESSION BUT WE CAN PUT STRUCTURES IN PLACE TO CURB BRIBBERY AND CORRUPTION GOING ON IN THE FA.
I WONDER WHETHER WE CAN WIN A SINGLE MATCH IN THE WC SHOULD WE QUALIFY.
THE BLACK STARS TEAM IS NOT STRUCTURED.HOW CAN WE LET LIBERIA BEAT US?
A STICH IN TIME….
GSN, please do thorough editing before publication. Anything on the net can be and is read by people from all over the world and your website’s credibility is at stake. Take a look at this: Your use of the word ‘advice’ as against ‘advise’. While the first is a noun the later is a verb and that the two are not interchangeable. Please note the usage next time.
What are they going to probe,Kingston should not mind them.When this guy was playing members of the FA could not sit him down to advise him to improve his level of education and now he is traumatized and being exploited by so called pastor.They should rather go and take him to a psychologist for counselling.
