Nyantakyi 'innocent until proven guilty', says Ghana FA

The Football Association has thrown its weight behind its beleaguered chief who has been charged with fraud

Ghana Football Association has debunked reports of an imminent change in leadership amid fraud allegations levelled against the body’s president Kwesi Nyantakyi.

The embattled FA chief has been charged with "defrauding under false pretences" on orders of Ghana president Nana Akufo-Addo after allegedly being captured in a video documentary using names of high-ranking government officials to defraud foreign investors.

Produced by renowned Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, the documentary, which has already been previewed by president Akufo-Addo, is set for public screening on June 6.

"All offices and outlets of the GFA remain fully functional and we confirm that all scheduled activities of the federation continue without any hindrances.

"We urge all our stakeholders and members to remain calm during this period."
