The beleaguered former Chairman of the Black Stars B management committee, Eddie Doku, has denied allegations of receiving bribe to influence game-time for a player in the Black Stars Team B during the September 2017 WAFU Zone B tournament in Cape Coast.
Mr. Doku was seen on tape as part of the investigative piece put out by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, titled “#Number 12” taking bundles of cash to influence the playing time for Hearts of Oak winger Patrick Razak during the tournament.
Razak became one of the tournament’s best performers but it has now been revealed that Doku benefited financially from the player’s participation in the match.
Mr. Doku has however in a short statement Thursday dismissed the allegations as untenable.
“Please, it is not true what the caption says, that I am being bribed to influence the selection of Patrick Razak into the Black Stars B,” he stated in the statement.
According to him, his lawyers are “taking the matter up.”
Below is the full statement
Good Morning all. I normally do not encourage anything like this on this platform. But please allow me this once.
I am with the Black Stars in Iceland and received a video clip of myself in the Anas series receiving money in the open in front of the RFA office.
Please, it is not true what the caption says, that I am being bribed to influence the selection of Patrick Razak into the Black Stars B.
I am simply telling you, who serves as chairman, the truth is that I was not taking a bribe as the video seeks to portray. My lawyers are taking the matter up. I shall be back on Saturday, God willing. At least I owe you this.
