Former Ghanaian Referee, Charles Duwuna has expressed his concern about the number twelve expose series that was done by investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. He said the number 12 has caused us more harm than good.
In an interview with Kasapa sports presenter Adam Adjie on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, he made claims that the expose has affected football within the country.
According to him, the number 12 has painted Ghana football very black on the continent and believe this all came as a result of the expose.
He added that most of the scenes in the video were planned and for that effect every little mistake Ghanaians make will be seen as deliberate.
He made reference to the recent happenings in Ghana, as the Black Stars was keen on securing a spot in the world cup play-off. Ghana were victorious over counterparts South Africa in the last round of game in the world cup qualifiers last Sunday at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
The goal which was scored by Ghana Captain Andre Ayew came from the penalty spot after Ghana defender Daniel Amartey was fouled.
Replays of the incident show that South Africa defender Rushine de Reuck held the Leicester man after a corner was floated in his direction by Daniel Kyere. Senegalese Referee Maguette Ndiaye awarded the penalty which was converted by Ayew.
However, Ghana trailed over South Africa by three points heading into the match and victory was the only result required to seal qualification to the third round of the qualifiers while the South Africans had only needed a draw.
Charles Dowuna claims that, since incidents of that sought have occurred countless times in Ghana, complaints sent by the SAFA can go a long way to affect us, because this has paved the way for people to believe that every match has been influenced.
He finally made an appeal that this issue must be reconciled and necessary ways must be employed through the FA in ensuring all claims be nullified.
