The Ashanti Regional Police Command has declared Asamoah Gyan's elder brother, Baffour Gyan wanted. "You cannot take the law into your own hands....If you believe someone has offended or slighted you, you remedy that by the law. Tell Baffour Gyan that he, out of his own volition, better report to the Ashanti Regional Police Headquarters otherwise the police will arrest him wherever he is located," DCOP Kofi Boakye told Peacefmonline's Kwadwo Asante in an interview. Baffour Gyan is said to have led some machomen to assault state-owned Daily Graphic�s Ashanti Regional Editor, Mr Daniel Kenu. He allegedly launched the first attack against the reporter before the machomen joined. A day prior to this unfortunate incident, two 20-year-olds students of the Koforidua Polytechnic, taunted Asamoah Gyan over musician Castro�s disappearance at the Black Stars training session. Isaac Owusu and Bright Nistowel, the two students, allegedly started shouting �Asamoah Gyan � where is Castro� at the UAE-based attacker as the Black Stars arrived for training on Wednesday morning. Castro and a lady friend, Janet Badu, disappeared while surfing the Ada estuary waves on a jet ski. They have not been found since the accident. Some have accused Asamoah Gyan of sacrificing his friend for spiritual purposes while the two went on holidays at Ada in June. The police subsequently arrested the two students, who were later cautioned and released Thus, Mr Kenu decided to use Wednesday�s press conference to urge Asamoah Gyan to seize the opportunity to tell Ghanaians his side of the story to put the matter to rest and also correct any such erroneous impression. But the question was deemed unnecessary since the Black Stars had a high stakes AFCON 2015 qualifier to focus attention on. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi, further urged the player not to answer the question because the allegations were purely metaphysical and, therefore, could not be proven. However, some loyal friends of the Black Stars skipper appeared clearly riled by the journalist's question. According to reports monitored on Hello FM, a sister station of Peace FM based in Kumasi, Kenu had gone to the Baba Yara stadium on Friday to pick his accreditation for the Ghana-Uganda AFCON qualifiers game scheduled for Saturday, when Asamoah Gyan�s brother and the machomen accosted him without provocation. Following the pummeling he received, the journalist had to seek medical treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi after he had filed a police report. Nearly twenty-four hours after the incident, the big brother of Black Stars' skipper, who had a stint with Kumasi Asante Kotoko a couple of years ago, had failed to turn himself in. Perhaps, it is this somewhat recalcitrant behaviour that compelled the DCOP Kofi Boakye to issue the warning.
