Kumasi Cornerstone

Former Ghana Premier League side Kumasi Cornerstone are challenging of the sale of its club house.

The club’s former manager Clement Amoah sold the property for GHC 45,000 in 2007 to a private individual Professor Kwame Idan.

But a Patron of the club, Nana Fitz says that was a fraudulent transaction.

“How can the clubhouse of an active football club be sold without the knowledge of its board, patrons and management,” Fitz told Accra-based Asempa FM.

“The documents to the property are still with us so I am a bit surprised that a whole Professor will allow himself to be duped like that. In any case the club has no record of receiving that money.

“We bought that property with the proceeds from the sale of Isaac Asare and Nii Odartey Lamptey and we have kept it since.”

Cornerstone was founded in 1931 and now play in the Ghana second-tier league.

The Kumasi-based side won the Ghana FA Cup on three occasions in 1959, 1965 and 1989.
