Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah has been charged by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) prosecutor over the match fixing scandal that rocked the country's top-flight on the final day of the season. 

After investigations into the match which produced a cricket scoreline with AshantiGold beating Inter Allies 7-0, Musah and three other players have been charged.

For Musah, he has been charged on four counts of misconduct for breaching Article 34(12), Article 34(5)(a), Article 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations and Article 11(2)(d) of the GFA Disciplinary Code.

The defender said he deliberately scored two own goals in the match to foil a match fixing plot he had learnt of prior to the kick off. According to Musah, he was congratulated by his bosses for putting the ball in his own net twice.

Danso Wiredu Mensah of Inter Allies FC and Seth Osei of Ashantigold have both been charged for violating Article 34(5)(a) of the GFA Premier League Regulations in respect of the match between their two clubs.

The GFA Prosecutor has also charged Samed Mohammed of Ashantigold SC on three counts of misconduct for a violation of Article 12(1)(b) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, Article 34(6)(d) and Article 34(5)(a)  of the GFA Premier league regulations.
