And according to Obeng Sekyere, referee Samuel Sukah's penalty was influenced by the owner of Aduana Stars.

"Sometimes is very painful to follow Ghana football, an astute football administrator said we thank 'Nana' for this victory" he told Obuasi-based Time FM

"Nana Agyemang Badu was behind our Sunday's defeat, I will never lie for fame. He gave referee Sukah money to ensure Kotoko lost the game because Aduana Stars had lost to Dwarfs.

"He [Nana Agyemang Badu II] is the man behind everything that happened in Accra. We had some of the Hearts management members thanking Nana after the match.”
