Monrovia – Recently controversial Ghanaian Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas released a shocking video of how match officials on the African continent receive bribe to influence the results of matches locally and internationally.
The video eye-documented by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has since gone wide across the world.
It featured over 110 referees and other top class football officials in Africa, prime among them is the President of the Ghanaian Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi.
One of the video footages show experienced Liberian referee Jerry Yekeh among some referees receiving bribe ahead of the match between Ghana vs Mali in the 2017 WAFU Nation Cup held in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Although Yekeh is not shown receiving money like his colleagues did in the referee room, the Liberian is clearly seen in the video bringing some match materials in the room where the action was taking place and later went behind the scene.
According to Anas’ undercover reporters, all the referees that officiated Ghana’s games at the September 2017 West African Football Union (WAFU) Tournament held in Cape Coast were bribed.
The investigators made specific reference to the September 16, 2017 Group A match between hosts Ghana and Mali which was officiated Yekeh.
As shown, the referees were ushered in the room where Anas’ undercover reporters were given out the cash by Charles Donwouna, a senior Ghanaian Technical Instructor, who was also in charge of referees at the 2017 WAFU Nations Cup.
