“I’m a Ghana National Fire Service personnel,” he said when asked about what he does outside of football.
Many have wondered if Somo is a professional referee, having seen him officiate some exhibition matches involving Division One teams.
However, reacting to this, Somo revealed that he is not yet a licensed referee and only officiates community matches and other games that are not sanctioned by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
“I officiate matches in communities within Accra. If I’m invited for such matches, I’ll gladly honour it,” he noted.
“I’m not a professional referee but I officiate exhibition matches for some Division One and Division Two teams.”
Referee Somo’s dancing skills recently caught the attention of ex-Liverpool and France forward Djibril Cisse, who posted him on his Instagram stories.
