General Manager of Aduana Stars Football Club, Takyi “Thunder” Arhin has stated that circumstances that led to former Ghana Football Administrator Kwesi Nyantakyi’s fall from the top of the football hierarchy could happen to anyone.
He said this in an exclusive interview with ChannelOne TV while responding to the discharge of Kwesi Nyantakyi in the trail stemming from Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Number 12 Exposé.
The veteran football administrator was filmed receiving money from an undercover journalist who passed as a businessman leading to Nyantakyi facing charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and corruption prior to the discharge by Ghana’s High Court in the wake of the prosecution’s failure to present investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
After stating blankly that Anas’ exposé has sent Ghana football back 50 years, Takyi Arhin struck an empathetic tone when discussing the issue. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
“We are thieves but when you are not caught, you are not a thief. What happened to Kwesi would have happened to anybody. At when one of us is in trouble, we try to make mountains out of mould hill. As a human, we need to pardon our brother and moving forward, I think he’s learnt a whole lot of lessons and I don’t think Kwesi will get himself into that kind of activity again.”
