Video of alleged fixed matches should not have been made public – Osei Fosu
Ignatius Osei-Fosu, the coach of Eleven Wonders, says that footage of alleged fixed matches from the Ghana Premier League’s final matchday should not have been made public.
The Ghana Premier League has been embroiled in controversy when viral social media recordings emerged showing what have been dubbed “deliberate loose goals” in a number of matches, including the match between AshantiGold and Inter Allies and the match between Wonders and Legon Cities.
Things became even worse when Allies midfielder Hashmin Musah acknowledged to scoring two own goals on purpose in an attempt to prevent suspected match-fixing.
“Look, there are some news that we have to protect. For me, if I was a GFA member, that cameraman at Obuasi [whose footage was leaked to the public] would be sacked today,” Osei-Fosu told Luv FM.
“The video is for the GFA so whoever wants the video will have to go to the GFA to apply for it. Never think that the English Premier League that we watch, everything that happens on the pitch they give to us, no.
“There are policies in using such footage or materials. So, things that will put their product into disrepute they don’t have to show it because you have to protect the integrity of the product.”
The Ghana Football Association and Ghana Police are investigating the matchday squad, which includes Allies and Ashanti Gold players and officials.
“I don’t even want to go on the media house because if I go on the media house that has gone for accreditation to run commentary and you bring out a video publicly, you have broken the copyright rules,” Hearts management member Frank Nelson Nwokolo asserts, as reported by Joy Sports.
“The media house has no accreditation for video and that is the point. The only group that has accreditation for video for our league is StarTimes and that video did not come from them,”
“If we were serious in Ghana, they wouldn’t have done that. Because next season if I was to be part of that decision making that media house will not get accreditation to even run commentary,”
