'I'll not write a report to anyone on how many seats were destroyed' - Dr Kwame Kyei

Published on: 24 October 2023

Dr. Kwame Kyei has revealed that he will not write a report to anyone accounting for how many seats were destroyed at his stadium for them to be fixed.

He said he will fix the broken seats himself because he sees himself as part of Asante Kotoko and will do it for the team without wanting them to be punished.

Following the rampage by enraged Asante Kotoko fans who vandalized seats at his venue, the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, during the Porcupine Warriors' Ghana Premier League match against Nations FC on Sunday, he issued this statement.

The upheaval transpired subsequent to a penalty being awarded to Nations FC. Asante Kotoko supporters, disputing the legitimacy of the penalty, incited disorder and damaged seating, leading to a temporary halt in play as Prosper Ogum was interviewed regarding the penalty.

Ultimately, the match concluded with a 2-2 scoreline.

In his post-incident remarks, Kyei, owner of Nations FC, clarified that the disturbance was caused by a select few individuals, and not indicative of the entire Asante Kotoko fanbase.

The GFA condemned the incident and said they were going to take action.

However, speaking in an interview days after, Kwame Kyei said: "I am pleading with everyone, this issue I am addressing, I want it to reach everywhere," he told Light FM.

"The destruction that has happened at the stadium; the stadium is also for Asante Kotoko; we will fix it. I am also part of Kotoko; I will fix it.

"It is not now that we are going to do a report and send it somewhere and tell them that this number of seats have been destroyed so they should fix them. No, I will do it myself."
