Mallam Falls Into Snake Pit

The Daily Guide says information gathered from the Ministry of Youth and Sports say that there is a huge snake pit (a group 'mafia') operating at the Ministry as officials.

According to reliable sources certain people felt threatened by Mallam's notice that he was going to investigate officials of the GFA and the Ministry.

It is believed he was therefore made to fall headlong into one of those dangerous pits, leading to his being persuaded to carry a huge cash amount of dollars.

In a related story, the Guide reports that President J.A. Kufuor, last Friday repeated his displeasure and disappointment over the circumstances that led to the loss of the $46,000 in no uncertain terms to the officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The President told the GFA officials made up of its Acting Chairman, Mr E.A. Owusu-Ansah and the General Secretary Worlanyo Agrah that he was highly disappointed and unhappy about the recent developments at the GFA and the Ministry of Youth and Sports and requested their fullest cooperation during investigation.
