Ghana FA to charge Hearts of Oak BoD member Alhaji Akambi over his ‘reckless’ comments on referee Kenny Padi

Ghana Football Association (GFA) are set to charge Hearts of Oak board member Alhaji Akambi for his allegations against referee Joseph Kennedy Padi who was the middle man during the super clash last Sunday.

Referee Kennedy Padi pointed to the spot after adjudging Nurudeen Abdul-Aziz to have fouled Gama in the box which was converted by Franck Mbella Etouga.

After the game, Alhaji Akambi teared into the referee where he sees him as the devil incarnate who came with the mindset of cheating the Rainbow club. He told Akwaaba Radio in Berekum in an interview.

“He is a devil. That referee is a devil and should be ashamed of himself on his performance yesterday, genuinely he came with a scoreline in his pocket.”

“We have only one truth and then we have to say it as it is. I had a call from some countries like America, Canada, London after the game What’s wrong with the referee?”

“He came with a mindset. What’s he telling people? He was sitting like an angel during the pre-match as if he cannot talk but not knowing he was having a mindset whilst we were thinking about the beauty of the game. He knows what he was thinking about, and might even see us as a fools.” He angrily ended

However, Saddick Adams (Sports Obama) reports that Alhaji Akambi will be charged for his words against Kenny Padi which in the opinion of the association is improper behavior and likely to bring the game into disrepute.

He could be slapped with a hefty fine or a ban if he is not able to justify his comments before the Ghana FA’s Ethics Committee.
