” There were these guys who came to our bus when our luggage were being brought out, they opened our bags, took our jerseys with the claim that we have juju in the bag. We went and asked why that issue and went to the dressing room.”
”We came out for the first half, we played the first half, we said our prayers with the players and just as we were going into the dressing room, there were about 30 supporters in front of the dressing room. They said they wanted to search me because they were suspecting I had juju on me”.
”So when I said No. It was only my phone and other things, they forcibly opened my zip and all that and when I tried to resist, they started punching me, held my leg, I fell down, some were kicking me.
”This shouldn’t be happening in Ghana football in this day and age. We have come of age, we are in the scientific world to be pummeled, kicked and all that because of a football match.
”I have a family at home. I can’t die because of football.”
Dwarfs were defeated at the end of the game by 2-1 and have now dropped to 13th position with 24 points on the league log.
