Confirmed: Police have been looking for Duffuor, Asiama for weeks


Police have confirmed to Myjoyonline.com that they have, for the past three weeks, been looking for the founder of the defunct UniBank, Dr Kwabena Duffuor Snr. and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama.
A highly-placed source within the Ghana Police Service on Thursday disclosed that the two former banking bigwigs and Kwabena Duffuor Jnr, CEO of the collapsed UniBank, were invited for questioning over their respective roles in the bank’s failure.
The story gained national attention when a newspaper aligned to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), The Daily Statesman, on Thursday, January 23, reported that the three former top corporate executives are on the run.
“Yes, it is true that we invited three of them [for questioning] about three weeks ago. We only have Dr. Duffuor’s son cooperating but the other two [Dr. Duffuor Snr and Dr. Asiama] have not gotten back to us,” the source confirmed.
Earlier, JoyNews had reported: “Duffuor Snr. wrote to the police saying he would not cooperate as he has sued, and asked the police to respect the suit. The police have been searching for him but are yet to locate him.
“They are unable to say whether he’s out of the jurisdiction. His son says he’s unaware of his father’s whereabouts.” JoyNews source close to the police explains.
The source said Dr Johnson Asiama had indicated he was out of the jurisdiction but would return on January 20, 2020, but failed to and many attempts to reach him have failed. 
“They are all required in connection with the bank’s collapse,” the source said.

CK Akonnor wins dismissal case against Kotoko, Ghanaian giants ordered to pay compensation

Asante Kotoko are expected to CK Akonnor a hefty compensation after the former coach won his case for wrongful dismissal against the club on Monday. The Player Status Committee has ruled the Porcupine Warriors breached the terms of his contract. The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling.

National Circles Council (NCC) of Asante Kotoko have frowned on the statement released by WAFA Supporters Union that their outfit is not supporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in its efforts to end hooliganism. On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe. According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution. The Kumasi-based side were slapped with a five home-game ban which got reduced to three due to crowd misconduct during their 1-0 defeat against Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on matchday 3. A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, the supporters wing of the Red lad...
