An Accra-based businessman, Joseph Amoah has been arrested by the Accra
Regional Police for allegedly defrauding Ghana Football Association
President Kwesi Nyantakyi of over $600,000 under the pretence of
securing him a construction contract, Sportscrusader.com has gathered.
Amoah, popularly known as Joe is believed to be a long term friend and a
business partner of the Ghana Football Association boss and the two are
directors of PROKN COMPANY LTD, registered by the GFA boss.
Sources say both Amoah and Nyantakyi have collaborated in winning and
executing several construction contracts over the years and have and
even completed a road and school project at Bole in the Northern Region
in mid 2014.
According to Sportscrusader.com investigations, Joe has been tendering
for building and construction contracts whiles Nyantakyi provides the
financial support in executing the contracts.
Amoah was arrested last week and has been arraigned before court for
taking over GHc2million from Kwesi Nyantakyi to finance a project he bid
at the Ministry of Works and Housing to lay pipes and construct roads
in the Western Region of Ghana.
Witnesses say the President of the GFA was at the Accra Regional Police
headquarters last week when the suspect was arrested for investigation.
The suspect, according to investigations, failed to win the contract and
has since failed to pay the monies back the GFA president, leading to
his arrest last week.
He is expected to appear before the Accra Commercial Court Two on Monday, September 14.
