BOMBSHELL: Police to hunt down Ashgold, Inter Allies top officials over match fixing

Published on: 13 August 2021

The Ghana Football Association is leaving no stone unturned in their investigations into the match-fixing scandal involving Ashantigold and Inter Allies. 

The GFA has joined forces with the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police to hunt down any top official involved in the scandalous 7-0 game between the two clubs.

"The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has formed a strong team to investigate the match fixing and bribery allegation that hit the Ghana Premier League Match day 34 clash between AshantiGold SC and Inter Allies FC," wrote the GFA.

"This follows an earlier meeting between President of the Ghana Football Association Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and the Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, COP Isaac Ken Yeboah on Monday, July 26, 2021.

"The Investigative team is led by a Commissioner Of Police (COP) with support from other Divisions within the Police Unit. The team has begun work and are expected to cooperate with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to weed out the canker."

Inter Allies defender Hashim Musah scored two ridiculous own goals, raising eyebrows over the credibility of the game.

After the match, the player disclosed the game had been fixed by an unknown group of people, who wanted the game to end at 5-1.

The unsavoury comments from the defender led to investigations, with a committee set by the Football Association to fish out the culprits.
