Isaac Amoako, the former goalkeeper of Asante Kotoko has revealed that the club is yet to compensate the players involved in an accident three years ago.
The accident took place when the players were going back to Kumasi after playing a Premier League game against Inter Allies.
The equipment officer of the club, Thomas Obeng Asare, lost his life and players also suffered injuries. The club received donations after the incident.
According to Amoako, they were promised compensation but it never came.
“Coming Sunday, July 14, 2020 will mark three years since the horrific incident happened but still not received a penny from Kotoko and we don’t know as to when our compensations would be paid,” Amoako is reported to have said on Sunyani-based BA TV.
“The refusal of the Kotoko leadership to pay our monies has placed a heavy toll on most of the victims. Longest-serving team driver Nana Berchie has been at home due to the accident he had, while Baba Mahama and Ollenu Ashitey have had their playing careers stymied.”
“We are aware that the newly constituted board led by the previous board chair, Dr Kwame Kyei who held that position at the time of the accident, had begun paying off several debts incurred by the club but still not heard from him,” he added.
“We will not keep quiet until Kotoko leadership pay our compensation to us (Victims),” Amoako concluded.
Amoako spent 11 years at Kotoko.
