Asante Kotoko gave me nothing after fatal accident in 2017,” disappointed Michael Akuffo cries out

The Porcupine Warriors former midfielder has revealed that he has been badly treated after the fatal accident he suffered with the club five years ago

Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Michael Akuffo has hit out at the club following what he feels as a neglect after the deadly accident.

The Porcupine Warriors after a Premier League game against Inter Allies in Accra in 2017 were involved in an accident on their way back to Kumasi as the team bus crashed into a stationary truck on the Nkawkaw dual carriage road.

The fatal accident saw the death of deputy equipment officer Thomas Obeng Asare while many others, including players, team officials and journalists, sustained various degrees of injuries.

“I got injured in my legs and although I can play football again, I feel a bit uneasy that something terrible could happen to me anytime I take to the pitch,” Akuffo told Akoma FM in an interview.

“Unfortunately I got nothing from the club and it’s very bad should this happen in any of the European countries, we could have earn something big.

“I feel much extremely disappointed because I got nothing from Kotoko after the horrible accident. At a point they asked for our back account numbers but till now we have not received anything. Ghana FA must make sure all clubs get their buses and players insured,” he added.

It will be recalled that former Kotoko goalkeeper Isaac Amoako also stated in 2020, three years after the incident that victims of the fatal accident were still holding on to their hopes of receiving compensation, several years on.

Thomas Partey reports to Arsenal training ground after alleged rape case

The midfielder was spotted at the Colney on Monday morning after several days away due to an alleged rape charges

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey was seen at the club’s training ground on Monday morning ahead of a planned trip to United States of America.

The 28-year-old missed out on Arsenal’s pre-season tour to Germany last week after he was reportedly charged for an alleged rape.

According to reports in the UK media, Partey’s girlfriend reported him to the police for assault and rape but he has been cleared of all the charges due to insufficient evidence to press charges against him.

Meanwhile, Partey’s camp has insisted that the lady who wanted to soil the Arsenal player’s name did so out of bitterness as her dream to get married to Partey couldn’t become a reality.

Partey is expected to join his teammates in United States this week as the club continues to fine tune ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
