Former Chairman of the Black Stars B management committee Eddie Doku, has denied allegations of taking bribe to influence game-time for a Black Stars Team B player during the 2017 WAFU Zone B tournament.
Mr. Doku was seen on tape, as part of the undercover investigative piece by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, taking bundles of cash to influence the selection of Hearts of Oak winger Patrick Razak into Ghana’s 18-man squad and further assure game-time during the tournament.
Mr. Doku has however in a short statement dismissed the allegations as false.
Below is the full statement
Good Morning all. I normally do not encourage anything like this on this platform. But please allow me this once.
I am with the Black Stars in Iceland and received a video clip of myself in the Anas series receiving money in the open in front of the RFA office.
Please, it is not true what the caption says, that I am being bribed to influence the selection of Patrick Razak into the Black Stars B.
I am simply telling you, who serves as chairman, the truth is that I was not taking a bribe as the video seeks to portray. My lawyers are taking the matter up. I shall be back on Saturday, God willing. At least I owe you this.
