The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi has described recent media publications “as bad publicity” for him.
He said this when he interacted briefly with some journalists at the police headquarters on Thursday before going to the office of the Deputy Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to report himself to the police as part of his bail terms.
He said he would have loved to be in the news while carrying a trophy, saying “that would have been better”, a statement which drew laughter from the police and the journalists present.
Bad publicity
Mr Nyantakyi was arrested following a complaint filed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over allegations that the GFA boss had used the names of the President and the Vice-President to extort money from some supposed investors.
Mr Nyantakyi, who was granted police enquiry bail after the police had visited his house last Wednesday, was seen at the CID Headquarters sporting a yellow and wine African print shirt and a pair of trousers to match.
He was accompanied by his lawyer, Mr Thaddeus Sory.
Although Mr Nyantakyi has enjoyed media publicity over the years, he described recent media publications “as bad publicity.”
Appeal
After visiting Nyantakyi’s house as part of investigations last Wednesday, the police are said to have taken delivery of his mobile phones and laptops.

KB, I can understand your advice because, it does not look good for the president and his vice at all. You have virtually added Ford to Mahama's name what are you going to add to Nana Addo's name. Nana GHc5M Addo and Dr. Mahamudu GHc3M Bawumia. So your advice is good. If KN should begin to expose them, it can lead to impeachment. NPP should thank God for a very kind opposition because I heard koku Anyidoho the other day trying to link Mahama to KN on a similar matter. Let us just agree that we live in a human society and try as we may corruption cannot be totally eliminated. Just take the advice of JA Kufour, corruption is from Adam. Do not try to present yourselves as holier than everybody.
Kwesi should just not push this issue. The public reaction to this case should tell him that he is not very popular at this stage. He will worsen his case by perpetuating himself on that seat. I am say he shouldn't defend himself but it should end there. For wishing to have won a cup, too late Mr.
