PAC Academy FC faces imminent closure after owner Inusah Ahmed, known as "Pascal" or "Agony," was detained in a major international cybercrime investigation.
Ahmed's arrest last week resulted from a joint operation between INTERPOL, the FBI, and Ghanaian security agencies targeting a sophisticated online fraud network spanning multiple countries.
Three other suspects; Isaac Oduro Boateng, Derrick Van Yeboah, and Patrick Kwame Asare, were also apprehended in the coordinated sweep. The group allegedly orchestrated various internet scams including romance fraud, wire theft, and identity crimes affecting victims worldwide.
The once-promising Ashanti Region youth development centre now struggles with complete operational breakdown. Staff members, players, and officials are grappling with uncertainty as their leader remains behind bars.
