Embattled President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi has reportedly indicated in a statement to the Police Financial Forensic Unit that his foreign investor friends paid an inducement fee of $8 million to Ex President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.

Former President Mahama is currently a subject of  investigation following the allegation leveled against by the GFA Boss.

Mr. Nyantakyi is currently under investigations and has been charged with defrauding by false pretenses after he allegedly used the name of President Akufo Addo to extort monies from supposed foreign investors.

He was caught in a yet to be premiered video in an investigative piece done by renowned undercover Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a case of influence peddling using the President’s name.

Kwesi Nyantakyi was arrested by the police CID when the president of Ghanan filed a complaint with them that the president of Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi was using his name to extort money from potential investors. This was after he had watch excerpts of the Anas video.

Sources at the Police Service reveal that Mr Nyantakyi made shocking disclosures in his official statement to the Police Financial Forensic Unit on 23rd May 2018.

He’s reported to have told the Police in his statement that his investor friends from the United Arab Emirates led by a man known as Sheick paid an inducement fee of $8million to ex President John Mahama and the NDC party ahead of the crucial 2016 general elections.

NDC General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho had earlier revealed that it took the intervention of former President John Mahama to stop a probe the Ghana Football Association back in 2009.

''We thought that we had to look into GFA matters. This business where government is sponsoring football yet we can’t look into their affairs to me is quizzy,'' Anyindoho said on Ghanaweb's 21 Minutes interview

He added; ''We thought that Kwesi Nyantakyi was doing something wrong and having come into power we needed to go into the FA as a government but I think somehow Kwesi Nyantakyi found his way to the Vice President John Mahama and the Vice President had a chat with President Mills. So the president asked us his boys to slow down on Nyantakyi.''

The investigative piece by ace undercover journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, dubbed 'Number 12' which focuses on the corruption in the football sector in Ghana is set to premiere tomorrow, June 6 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
