The club expressed disappointment with the nature of Blay’s accusations
Asante Kotoko have begun internal investigations into allegations made by former midfielder Justice Blay, who accused teammate Kwame Opoku of a personal betrayal involving his girlfriend.
The club has described the claims as troubling and unexpected, confirming steps are being taken to verify the facts.
Speaking to Luv FM, Communications Director Sarfo Duku expressed the club’s disappointment with the nature of the accusations, particularly given Blay’s previous standing with the team.
“Justice Blay’s comment is very unfortunate, it was the least expected of him. As a club, we are looking at the whole issue, we are investigating it, and we may come out officially at the appropriate time,” he stated.
Blay, who was released in June 2025 after being informed he was not part of Kotoko’s plans for the upcoming season, alleged in a Pure FM interview that Opoku had secretly dated his girlfriend after being introduced to her.
He claimed the betrayal strained their relationship in camp, despite efforts to maintain professionalism on the pitch.
The midfielder also said some teammates frequently smoked “shisha” in the clubhouse, claims that have added to growing concerns about discipline within the squad.
