Police have seized the mobile phones and laptops of embattled GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi after conducting a search at his house late last night.
Nyantakyi reported himself to the police yesterday after he cut short a trip to Morocco to return to the country to face charges of fraud against him.
After nearly 5 hours of interrogation, police granted the CAF Vice President and inquiry bail and accompanied him to his house to conduct the search.
Citi Sports understands police did not find any significant materials connected with the investigation but seized his laptop and cell phones to take back to the CID headquarters.
Nyantakyi has officially been charged with defrauding by false pretense after it was revealed in an Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s investigation that he used the president’s name to solicit for bribes from potential investors.
Meanwhile, the GFA are expected to hold an Executive Committee meeting later today to address the leadership crisis that has rocked the nation’s football governing body.
The FA is currently without a vice President who would have acted in Nyantakyi’s stead and the Exco meeting is expected to elect from amongst them a leader to steer the affairs of the association while Nyantakyi focuses on his legal battles.
Head of juvenile football at the GFA, lawyer Kweku Eyiah is rumoured to be the favorite to stand in for the time being.
