In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Dr. Antoh, wants the culprits brought to justice to serve as a deterrent following a temporary ban placed on the Sunyani Coronation Park by the Ghana Football Association.
We are going to look through the issue well and be able to put in permanent measures, beyond that i think the perpetrators should be brought to book.
Safety at our stadia should be paramount and it is something we have all preached for and preached against violence at our various stadia.
It should be done because i have been a victim before and so i understand these issues, people come to the venues not understanding what football means.
