Massive loss incurred following botched Ghana-Nigeria friendly

JV2 Consult, the match organizer for the botched Ghana-Nigeria friendly is reported to have made a massive loss following the unfortunate development on Tuesday.

Ceo of JV2, Justin Addo appeared numb and totally shuttered upon receiving the unfortunate news just after paying the mandatory appearance fees to both sides.

“The mood here in England is that of sorrow and dejection,” Head of Asempa sports Moses Antwi-Benefo told the Accra-based radio station.

“I really feel for Justin Addo, a very fine young man trying to make a good living considering the massive debts incurred by this unfortunate development.”

A similar mood is reported of the huge traveling party from Ghana and other living in England who are already agitating for money refunds.

Meanwhile, match organizers have made arrangements as to how fans could retrieve the refunds.

Ghana was set to play bitterest rivals, Nigeria on Tuesday night but worsening riots in London has necessitated the cancellation as a precautionary measure to save life and property.
