Asante Kotoko has responded to recent explosive allegations made by former player Justice Blay, who accused his ex-teammate Kwame Opoku of betrayal involving a personal relationship.
The club, through its Communications Director Sarfo Duku, has described Blay’s comments as regrettable and assured that internal processes have been initiated to address the matter.
Blay, who was released by Kotoko in June 2025, alleged in a radio interview that Opoku had secretly been in a relationship with his girlfriend, a revelation that has since sparked public debate and criticism of the club’s handling of internal matters.
He also claimed that other former teammates smoke “shisha” in the clubhouse.
In reaction, Sarfo Duku told Luv FM, “Justice Blay’s comment is very unfortunate, it was 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.”
Blay’s account also claimed that after reporting the situation to the club’s technical team, no clear resolution was offered.
While the former Ghana Premier League midfielder insisted the matter was personal, Kotoko’s response signals a willingness to further probe the events that allegedly unfolded behind the scenes.
Kwame Opoku, who rejoined the club in January 2025, has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
