Kurt Okraku and Wilfred Osei Palmer
Tema Youth President Wilfred Osei Kweku Palmer has revealed that Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku reported him to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) over alleged death threats.
He stated that he was summoned to the regional police headquarters for questioning after Okraku accused him of making death threats, which he vehemently denied.
After denying the allegations, Palmer claimed he was not contacted again regarding the case, implying that it is no longer being pursued.
In an interview with Asempa FM, Palmer noted that despite the challenges he faced under Okraku’s administration, he hold nothing against him.
“Kurt reported me, claiming I wanted to take his life. My friends know I’m not capable of such a thing. I was invited to the regional police headquarters, where they informed me of Kurt’s accusations, citing our past issues.
“I told them I hold no grudges, having put the past behind me. Since then, the police haven’t contacted me, and the case seems to have died down naturally. He took me to the IGP,” Palmer said in Twi.
Okraku has faced criticism from some football stakeholders since becoming GFA president in 2019, with some believing he has not treated them fairly.
