Court place injunction on Olympics

Accra, Feb 27, GNA - An Accra High Court has placed an injunction on Accra Great Olympics Football Club Limited, restraining it from appointing or purporting to appoint managers for the club or interfering in any manner with the management of the football club.

It has also restrained the defendants from parading a football team under the guise of Great Olympics to participate in the charity match between Accra Great Olympics and Accra Hearts of Oak scheduled for the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, February 29.

The High Court said it was placing the injunction upon hearing the Affidavit of David Mawuli Fugah, a member of the Board of Directors of Accra Great Olympics filed on February 27 in support of Motion of Ex-Parte for an Order of Interlocutory Injunction.

The order said it was upon hearing Brooman-Ammissah, ESQ, Counsel for and on behalf of the Plaintiff that it has ordered the Defendants made up Mr Ernest Apatu Plange, John Teye, Fritz Baffour, Jerry Djangmah, George Heward-Mills and R.O. Solomon from holding themselves out as the management team of Accra Great Olympics.

The two clubs were scheduled to play in a charity match on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium in a match organised under the auspices of the Ghana Football Association and HIV/AIDS CONCERN, a non-governmental organisation to raise funds for Aids orphans and victims.

The court also restrains the six defendants from dealing with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the National Sports Council (NSC) in connection with Sunday's charity match.
