The General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo has revealed that some of the betting companies have turned themselves into criminals and they’ve been stealing from them, after telling the association that the Ghana Premier league is not worth betting on it.
“Currently we have noticed that some of the betting companies have turned themselves into criminals and they’ve been stealing from us, after telling the association that our league is not worth betting on it”, Lawyer Prosper Harrison Addo told Accra based Asempa FM
“And they are doing this because the Gaming Commission is sleeping, but we will take the law into our own hands and deal with these betting companies.” – He added.
“This week I will rally all the clubs to go to these betting companies and steal their chairs and computers too because what they’re doing to the clubs is not fair at all.” – He further stated.
Recently, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku also disclosed intentions of the FA to take-on betting companies for running bets on local leagues in the country.
The FA president stated that no betting company has been granted the license to undertake such activities.
“It’s one canker we’ve been fighting,” he said.
He said the association is taking legal actions against offenders as most betting companies have turned a deaf ear to their warnings.
