Private legal practitioner, Cap. [rtd] lawyer Nkrabea Effah Dartey has told Kasapa FM that President of the Ghana Football Association,(GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi would likely serve a term of between 15-20 years should he be convicted for his alleged crime.
“If he’s found guilty in the alleged crime of defrauding by false pretence he can be jailed up to 10,15, 20 years. And especially say using the name of the President in defrauding is a serious crime and will definitely land you in big trouble” he told host Kwaku Owusu Adjei on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM.
However, lawyer Nkrabea Effah Dartey lashed out at the media in what he describes as the erroneous report that were made by various news portals that the President had ordered the arrest of Mr. Nyantakyi in connection with the alleged crime of defrauding by false pretence.
He said the premise of the President’s action was launching the case with the legally mandated security agencies to get to the bottom of the matter without any interference.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has asked the police to investigate President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi, for a potential crime of defrauding by false pretence.
A Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel Abu Jinapor, confirmed this to presidential correspondents in the Jubilee House.
According to Mr. Jinapor, the president directed that Mr. Nyantakyi should be arrested by the Criminal Investigative Department, (CID) after watching the latest exposé of ace investigative journalist Anas Ameyaw Anas.
“The President of the Republic has had the benefit of viewing aspects of the investigative piece and in this documentary, the President of the Ghana Football Association, Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi is supposedly seen attempting to use the President’s name and that of the Vice President and other senior officials of government to induce supposed potential investors into our country to part with various sums of monies,” Mr. Jinapor said.

Jail and shame this Nyantakyi, this should be a lesson learned from all those politicians and top leaders thinking they can rule Ghana when they got a certain position within the government. They think they are the only knowledgeable people to get the post. NANA AKUFO ADDO has nothing to do with this and he never told this Nyantakyi to do such dirty corrupt acts. JAIL JAIL JAIL JAIL HIM. Teach his a lesson and show him this is not Mahama government. Let any corrupt person try NANA AKUFO ADDO and lets see if they will survive, this nyantakyi might even get a heart attack before he goes to jail. He brought this to himself.
ANAS ALWAYS PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY OF PRESIDENTS TO WATCH PORTIONS OF HIS VIDEOS BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED.
WHY WAS THE VIDEO GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT TO VIEW FIRST? THIS SHOWS THAT HE AND HIS LIAR BORROMIA AND NPP OFFICIALS DAY INSIDE BIG TIME AND WANTED TO SEEK COVER FIRST. WHY DIDN'T KWEKU BAAKU GAVE LAWYERS ISSUE TO THE THEN PRESIDENT VIEW FIRST. IT SHOWS THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN THE SCANDAL AND THE DESIRE TO COVER THEIR BOTTOCKS FIRST. SHAME UNTO YOU, ***barred word*** IN GOVERNMENT. YOU SET UP SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO TRY YOUR OPPONENTS BUT YOU ARE PROTECTING YOUR MINISTERS AND YOURSELF WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN NAMED IN A SCANDAL.F
Abu jinapor never said in his press conference that the prez has directed the cid to arrest mr. nyantakyi. What he said was that the prez has reported the gfa prez action to the cid and that it should investigate the matter. We all and especially journalists should be circumspect in their reportage. One word could change the meaning of a sentence which may prove disastrous.
