GFA Scribe's life under threat

Accra, July 18, GNA - Mr Kofi Nsiah, General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is on his heels to the Police Headquarters in Accra together with his wife and son to lodge a formal complaint on a threat allegedly issued by irate fans of Accra Hearts of Oak apparently in reaction to last week's ruling on the Charles Taylor transfer saga.

A GNA Sports reporter was at the GFA Secretariat to seek the FA's reaction on the latest twist on the Taylor saga when Nsiah's wife and son bumped into them to report threat calls that they (wife and child) had received through out the day on their lives.

Like a typical Hollywood movie, the GFA scribe quickly abandoned the journalist and snatched his wife and son and headed towards the Police Headquarters. He switched off his cell phone and lifted the handset on the office phone to avoid further calls.

The GNA Sports received an e-mail message from the Hearts Secretariat purported to have been sent by the club's consultant Ibrahim Saanie Daara from UK who sought FIFA's reaction on the GFA's ruling on Taylor, said FIFA did not at any point in time advised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that compensation be paid to Accra Hearts of Oak in order to declare Charles Taylor "free".
