    I have always felt Kudos ,Semeyo and Partey are 3 world class players who can beat any team. I remember how the referee stole a match for Italy against Nigeria. Now they steal off the pitch

    So what is Ghana government, ministry of foreign affairs and the diplomatic community doing about this matter?

  • AsempaNia 3 weeks ago

    Nothing ! That's up to him to prove he didn't do that. It's a sexual assault case.

  • JULOR CAESAR 3 weeks ago

    Doesn't the justice system in Canada hold that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? Why then deny a person entry when that person's guilt or innocence has not yet been determined by a court?

    These illiterate footballers who become rich overnight do not take advice or learn from other people's misfortune. You went to UK to work. Focus on work and don't mix work with romance.

    “Innocent until proven guilty” applies in criminal court — not in immigration decisions
    Criminal law protects the accused from being treated as guilty before trial.

    No problems next time Canadian delegation is coming to Ghana look at the Head of Delegation and deny him/her visa citing in Ghana we don't wear suits. We are colour blind whenever we see them. Reciprocal respect.
