Yussif Chibsah narrates how King Faisal players were bribed to lose against Hearts of Oak

Published on: 26 May 2023

Ex-King Faisal player, Yussif Chibsah, has revealed how renowned football administrator Alhaji Grusah uncovered a bribery scandal involving a Hearts of Oak official.

The revelation surfaced during a match between King Faisal and Hearts of Oak when rumors started circulating about certain players being offered inducements to deliberately lose the game.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Alhaji Grusah took decisive action by reaching out to one of the players allegedly involved in the bribery scheme and summoning an official from Hearts of Oak to a public phone booth.

According to Chibsah, Alhaji Grusah orchestrated a phone call between the player and the Hearts of Oak official in his presence. During the conversation, Alhaji Grusah instructed the player to inform the Hearts of Oak representative that he had not yet received his share of the bribe money.

"Alhaji called one of the players and went with the player to the stationary phone booth and called an official of Hearts of Oak and told the player to tell the man you haven't received the money that was shared for the players," Chibsah revealed during an interview on Joy Sports' Prime Take.

In response, the Hearts of Oak official on the other end of the line instructed the player to meet a specific individual in order to collect his portion of the illicit funds. This incriminating exchange provided undeniable evidence of the official's involvement in the bribery scheme.

"The official just gave himself out when he said, go and see this person. There and then Alhaji Grusah said, he was the mafia chairman," Chibsah added, highlighting Alhaji Grusah's astute handling of the situation."
