“Awako is a registered player of Accra Hearts of Oak, we own his economic rights.” He emphasized

The Board when quizzed whether issues circulating in the media regarding some spiritual attacks on the player refuted that assertion while adding that Awako is only facing some personal issues.

“There are personal issues and challenges that Awako is going through in his life which are impacting his inclusion and participation with the team. However, we are talking to Olympics to see how we can resolve this amicably, ” told Akoma FM.

“We want to see how we resolve this so that it won’t dent the image of football and that will also make sure that outside stakeholders see that we create a good image of football so that we can go forward.

“We need to build the Ghana brand and we need to make sure that we handle issues properly. I can assure every supporter that we are on top of this Awako issue, and we believe that very soon it will be resolved.”
