He was reportedly charged on two counts: resisting arrest and disturbing public peace.
Awal made the headlines when he interrupted the Black Stars’ game by surprisingly running onto the Cape Coast stadium.
In what was a rather comical scene, Awal put several security personnel to their paces as spectators watched on in amusement.

Having chased him around the pitch for a while, the security personnel finally got hold of him and escorted him away.
He was subsequently arrested, and spent a day behind bars, before being released by the Police.
Awal later revealed that he ran onto the pitch because he wanted to meet midfielder Thomas Partey.
