The Chief Executive Officer of Aduana FC, Collins Attah Poku, has revealed that he narrowly escaped a stabbing incident during his team’s Ghana Premier League clash over the weekend.
The two-time league champions travelled to face Dreams FC at the Tuba AstroTurf in a Matchday 24 encounter that was marred by crowd disturbances.
Reports had suggested that Attah Poku was nearly stabbed during the game. Speaking on Ultimate Sports Show on Asempa FM, he confirmed that he was threatened by a supporter wielding a dagger.
“I was threatened by a fan with a dagger during our game against Dreams FC at the Tuba AstroTurf, but luckily, our cameraman was nearby,” he said.
Attah Poku added that the individual warned him to remain silent or face an attack, an incident that heightened tensions around the match.
Meanwhile, Aduana FC have been charged after one of their supporters allegedly threw a bottle onto the pitch during the fixture.
Reacting to the charge by the Ghana Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee, Attah Poku said the club does not dispute the allegation but questioned the basis of the prosecution.
“I don’t have a problem with our charge that a fan threw a bottle onto the pitch during our clash with Dreams FC, but I will question the prosecutor on whether he actually saw the fan who threw it,” he stated.
The incident capped a difficult afternoon for Aduana FC, who went on to suffer a narrow 1–0 defeat to Dreams FC.
