Aduana Stars reinstate Godfred Saka as captain

Ghana topflight side, Aduana Stars has reinstatement long serving captain, Godfred Saka who was stripped of the leadership role for alleged gross misconduct at the beginning of the season.

The loyal Aduana skipper was stripped off the captaincy when he had an altercation with his team manager following the team’s match day one defeat against Inter Allies at the Tema Sports Stadium.

Confirming the Decision, Chief Executive Officer of the Dormaa based club, Mr. Albert Commey stated in an interview that Saka had been reinstated as the club’s captain.

The CEO however indicated that the right back’s salary had been slashed as part of the sanctions.

The decision, according to Mr Commey, was arrived at after the Aduana Stars player had shown remorse over his actions.

In a related development, Mr. Albert Commey has debunked speculations that the withdrawal of the right back’s captaincy was part of the factors contributing to their bad start to the league but expressed worry at the prevailing situation facing the team.

Mr Commey explained that after recruiting 13 new players this season, it would take time for the team to adapt to the group dynamics.

“What is happening now is worrying but if you have almost 50 per cent of the team being new, its difficult but we are working at it”, stressing that “with the return of Coach Chioba Aristika, I am positive the team will pick up half way through”, he said

Aduana Stars took the Ghana Premier League by storm when they first joined in the 2009/2010 season and won the competition at the first time of asking.

They have since not performed badly until this season. The teams have lost their first three matches against Inter Allies at Tema, All Stars in Wa and recently against Brong Ahafo rivals, Techiman City.
