According to Mrs Nyantakyi, her husband has been a lawyer for 25 years and for such a person to be easily carried away by Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team was not physical but spiritual.
Frankly speaking in football administration in Ghana one man by name Kwesi Nyantakyi has been on the rise since the early 2000s when he was voted as the Ghana Football Association President. Before becoming the FA president of Ghana he was the Ghana League Club Association (GHALCA) President which automatically qualified him to be the GFA vice president.
Kwesi Nyantakyi’s presidency was a refreshing news for the football fraternity or industry of Ghana as Nyantakyi was a fresh young man full of ideas and a lawyer as such who carried himself very well. He suddenly became the hope for Ghana football and an inspiration for a lot of young men who were into football management and administration.
The former president of the Ghana Football Association and FIFA/CAF council member, Kwesi Nyantakyi according to a report sighted by GhanaCelebrities.Com has just sued award-winning investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tigereye PI team at the apex court of the land.

The Boss of Ghana Football Association (GFA) and CAF’s first Vice President, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi who slapped his arch-rival Patrick Osei Agyemang popularly known as Countryman Songo with a court suit over unsubstantiated claims of corruption against him, ‘now want to kill him once and for all’ by telling multimedia firms to sack and never to employ him.

Young Scarlette, the event staffing and management agency that provided ushers for the recently held CAF Awards, has rubbished claims made by a section of Ghanaians that only Nigerian ladies were provided as ushers for the event.
Speaking to GhanaCelebrities.Com on the issue, Ms Monalisa Effah, Managing Director of Young Scarlette termed the allegation as misleading and unsubstantiated. She indicated that her agency provided 37 ushers for the event, out of which 36 were Ghanaians and one Nigerian.
According to her, Young Scarlette made available 100 ushers for the awards but the number was cut down to 37 after an intensive audition by the organizers. “Even though the panel was made up of mostly Nigerians, their selection was purely based on competence, hence ended up opting for 36 Ghanaians and a Nigerian,” she said.
She further stated that none of the ladies provided for the CAF Awards was flown to Ghana from Nigeria as being speculated. “All the ladies, with the exception of one Nigerian, are Ghanaians. They all, including the Nigerian, reside in Ghana,” said Ms. Effah.
Young Scarlette is a Ghanaian event staffing and management agency that provides on-site ushers, promotional models, conference and bilingual hostesses, street marketers, meet & greet hostesses, registration crew and VIP hostesses; and has been in operation for the past six years.
