Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom is the owner of Elmina Sharks
Nathaniel Obeng, the Communications Manager of Swedru All Blacks UFC, has formally retracted and apologized for comments he made about Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom regarding an incident during a Division One League match against Elmina Sharks at the Nduom Sports Stadium.
The aftermath of the game was marred by acts of hooliganism, that saw some fans attack the referee.
In an interview with Sporty FM, Obeng alleged that Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom went onto the field to threaten the referee after a penalty was awarded against Elmina Sharks.
According to Obeng, Nduom told the referee to overturn the decision, or he would order the Elmina Sharks players to walk off the pitch.
However, Obeng has since retracted the statement and apologized, clarifying that he did not intend to harm Nduom’s reputation.
In a letter addressed to legal representatives of Dr. Nduom, Obeng clarified his claim that Dr. Nduom had entered the pitch to threaten the referee and instructed players to walk off in protest of a penalty decision.
