It’s worrying how we brought Nyantakyi down—CK Akonnor
Black Stars coach, Charles Kwabla Akonnor, has stated it is worrying to see how former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, was brought down when he was at his peak in football administration.
The former Wa All Stars owner relieved himself of all positions he held when an investigative documentary was aired by Anas Aremeyaw Anas in 2018 before he was hit with a lifetime ban from all football-related activities by the FIFA Ethics Committee.
Akonnor expressed sympathy for the former CAF Vice-President and said the way and manner he was brought down when seem to have been on top of the world is worrying.
“I experienced Nyantakyi. Kurt Okraku is now coming up, so we can speak much about him but we hope things will go well for him”, he said in an interview with Bola Ray on Starr FM.
“I also experience Ben Coffie, Nana Battler, and others but for Nyantakyi, it was unfair. Because, for a man to have worked like this, he might have had his own mistakes and all that but, the way we brought him down, I think it was a bit worrying.”
Nyantakyi is currently in court for charges of fraud and corruption while also battling to rescind the lifetime ban imposed on him by the FIFA Ethics Committee at the Court of Arbitration for Sports.
Before the famous Number 12 expose, he was the President of the Ghana Football Association for 13-years, a FIFA Council Member, CAF Vice-President, and other top football positions.
