Ghana Football Association's Chief of Staff Michael Osekre has sued Sompa FM's Jefferey Asare over $50,000 appearance fee report.
According to Jeffery Asare who was speaking on Sompa FM stated that Michael Osekre pocketed $50,000 as an appearance fee but later apologized.
However Michael Osekre has dragged Jeffery Asare to court for defamation. The court documents sighted by footballghana.com indicates that it was filed on the 16th of December 2022 at the High Court of Justice in Kumasi.
The Ghana Football Association earlier this week issued a press release stating that:
"The GFA has since kept an open mind and continue to listen and receive comments, suggestions, and ideas from well-meaning Ghanaians both home and abroad for the improvement of the team,"
"Unfortunately, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has noticed that a few persons are deliberately maligning and defaming the GFA and the Black Stars brand in an attempt to manufacture a non-existent scandal about the team,"
"While the Association will continue to encourage feedback and opinions (devoid of insults, personal attacks, and brand devaluation), the destruction of the brand from deliberate lies, misinformation and defamatory comments must be curbed, as the Black Stars remains a global brand that unites all Ghanaians,"
"The Ghana Football Association has therefore instructed its lawyers to institute legal action against persons who defame the Association, its officials, products and destroy the Black Stars brand as well as the media platforms used to do same,"
"The legal forum will provide the opportunity for these persons to bring any evidence to substantiate their allegations,"
"The Association will continue to encourage opinions and comments being expressed aimed at improving the team and the brand,"
