Despite being under investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department, Kwesi Nyantakyi remains President of the Ghana Football Association.
According to a statement from the Association, the President of the GFA “remains innocent until he is proven guilty of all charges leveled against him.”
“Following a meeting of the Executive Committee of the GFA on Thursday, the body wishes to state that nothing has changed in terms of the GFA hierarchy and Mr. Nyantakyi still remains the President of the Ghana Football Association,” the statement added.
Under investigation
Deputy Chief of Staff, Abu Jinapor on Tuesday confirmed that the GFA Boss was the subject of an investigation by the CID after the President had seen parts of an investigative piece by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Mr Jinapor told reporters that Kwesi Nyantakyi was captured trying to secure investments in the name of the President, Vice President and other key government officials.
The CID is investigating Mr Nyantakyi for defrauding by false pretence.
Nyantakyi was not in the country when the claims against him were made but cut short his official visit to Morocco and turned himself into the police on Wednesday.
He was granted bail but was then escorted by Police who conducted a search of his home.
