It has not yet been established the particular match that INTERPOL has launched an investigation into to establish the allegation of match-fixing.

But it would be recalled that Sulley Muniru until two weeks ago was a player of Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

He played in both the Ghana Premier League and the CAF Champions League in the colours of the Porcupine Warriors.

Muniru was a member of the Kotoko team that drew 1-1 against Mauritanian outfit FC Nouadibou in the first leg of their CAF Champions League.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko were declared winners of their CAF Champions League second leg against Mauritanian outfit FC Nouadibou without kicking a ball on Sunday 6th December, 2020 over medical reason.
