Fabio Gama: Oduro Sarfo to drag Kotoko’s Nana Yaw Amponsah to court over life threat

The Biribes chief has revealed that his life is under attack after a harmless phone call he made seeking clarity on Fabio Gama’s registration

Berekum Chelsea chief executive officer and Ghana FA executive council member Oduro Nyarko has revealed that he is prepared to take legal actions against Asante Kotoko CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah following threats on his life.

According to Oduro Sarfo on Oyerepa FM, he was shocked how Kotoko maneuvered their way through to register Brazilian midfielder Fabio da Silva Gama when his documents arrived after transfer deadline day.

Therefore, he placed a call to Amponsah to ask questions and that led into something terrible.

“You are stupid, old fool. I’m not like you who begs to eat, be very careful or else Ghana can’t contain both of us,” Sarfo claims these were portions of the statement from Amponsah to him.

“He further told me I have no sense and I should stop acting foolishly. I swear by my dead father, my children and the car i drive that these were the exact words he told me.

“I only asked how Fabio Gama was registered. since he just arrived in Ghana. It was harmless question asked.

“He told me i can take him to wherever i want to , even BBC and that am stupid and shouldn’t call his phone again.

“I have reported him to the GFA Prez, Mr Frank Nelson and EXCO members and the next is to report to the police for threatening me that he will show me the other side of him and that Ghana can’t contain both of us,” he added.

Kotoko will travel to Berekum to face Berekum Chelsea on matchday two of Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

Government to provide GH₵100,000 financial support to Ghana Premier League clubs

The top-flight clubs will be laughing to the bank after government’s decision to provide financial support

Ghana Premier League clubs will be receiving a relief package from government very soon to cushion them for the 2020/21 season, AshesGyamera.com understands.

Following government’s decision to only allow Premier League games to be played behind closed doors due to Coronavirus disease, clubs began to vehemently claim that they will be struggling to match their expenses since gate proceeds formed major part of their sources of income.

Therefore, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ghana FA and Ghana League Clubs Association have been able to negotiate with the seat of government to provide financial relief of GH₵100,000 cedis each of all the sixteen clubs.

AshesGyamera.com also understands that all 48 Division One League clubs that will partake in the 2020/21 season will likely receive half of the amount (GH₵50,000) before or after their season kicks off.

Ghana Premier League began last weekend with eight games apart from Aduana Stars’ home fixture against Hearts of Oak which was postponed due to COVID-19 cases the latter had in their camp.

The Black Stars failed to win their fourth game of the competition after they were shocked in Omdurman

Ghana failed to secure their place in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as they lost their first game in the qualifiers 1-0 to Sudan in Omdurman on Tuesday

A late mistake by John Boye gave the North African  country a crucial winner to open the group wide for any country apart from Sao Tome to qualify.

After a pulsating first-half, Sudan failed to capitalise on Ghana’s slow start to match an early goal.

Abdelrahman Mohamed came close to score by the 33rd minute but goalkeeper Fatau Dauda saved the day.

After the break, Jordan Ayew combined with Wakaso Mubarak to set up Caleb Ekuban but the striker could not find the target.

Christopher Nettey came on very late in the game to replace Tariq Fosu as the Asante Kotoko defender made his second appearance for the Black Stars in a row.

With few minutes remaining to full time, Abdelrahman rose above defender John Boye to head in the winner after meeting a cross from his teammate.

Despite the defeat, Ghana still lead Group C with nine points, tied with South Africa and they have two more games in the qualifiers to qualify for the Afcon.
