DOL Blues: Man Assaulted For "Planting" Juju

An elderly man was subjected to severe beating when he was allegedly caught by fans of BA United, a Division One side based in thd Brong Ahafo region, attempting to plant some form of magic, known in local parlance as “juju” at the Coronation Park.


 


The thinking by the fans, was that, had he been successful, the juju would have aided fellow Division One side, Berekum Arsenals’ victory over BA United at the coronation park in a Division One League fixture.


 


According to sources, BA supporters who were sleeping at the stadium prior to the march, saw the man, a worker at the Coronation Park, popularly known as “Alibey” attempting to plant something on the field.


 


They subsequently apprehended and subjected him to severe beatings while interrogating him, during which it reportedly came to the fore that Alibey was sent by one Yakubu Moro to execute tgat job.


 


Sportscrusader enquires;


Does juju play any significant role in Ghana football?


Do the GPL teams also dabble in it?


How different is it from “ways and means”?

GN Rescind Decision

Groups Nduom Bank (GN Bank) has rescinded its decision to withdraw their sponsorship of the Division One League (DOL).


Few weeks ago, GN Bank threatened to suspend its sponsorship for the National Division One League, after the coach of Elmina Sharks was beaten in a league game between Proud United and the Elmina based side at the Sekondi Gyandu Park


“We met the GFA and the leadership of the Division One League last week to deliberate on issues. Recently there was disorder at one of the division league venues and because we don’t want to be associated with a brand that could lead to bloodshed, destroy property and even affect the image of our bank we were worried,” the Corporate Affair Manager of the Bank, Richmond Kerlson told Moon Light FM in Sunyani.


“As a result of the happenings, we informed them we were suspending our sponsorship until they bring sanity into the game. They have resolved issues at the division one and have even punished some of the clubs who were at the centre of the chaos that rocked the division.


“Four supporters have been arrested for assaulting the coach of Elmina Sharks and have been arraigned before the court. Also some of the leaders of Gold Stars who were also involved in a controversy have been banned. The GFA has assured us that they will send cameras to all league centres to help bring all offenders into book. Based on what they have done and put in place we have decided to reinstate the sponsorship package.” He said.

GFA Set For Showdown Talks With GN Bank


Ghana Football Association (GFA) will hold a showdown with the management of GN Bank, sponsors of  the Division One League (DOL), to find a solution after their threat to suspend their relationship.


GN Bank feel hooliganism in the league has become rampant without serious treatment by the GFA thus suspending their deal with the Football Association.


But Ibrahim Saani Daara, Communication Director of the Ghana FA, believes both parties need to hold clear the air talks as the GFA have put measures in place to curb hooliganism.


“We as the Ghana Football Association say that we want to engage him, tell him the measures we have put in place to ameliorate it if not completely eradicate it,” he told Joy FM.


“The measures will basically take in to stem it. We want to get to the bottom of this matter.


“Within the powers of the GFA, what must be done has been done and we will continue to do it.


“We need to go the next step and that is the security agencies particularly the police who are paid to come to our matches, to police our matches to be able to arrest some culprits and put them before the law court.” he said.

Suspend Div One League Sponsorship - Nduome Tells GN Bank

I am asking asking the management of GN Bank to suspend its sponsorship of the Division One League when it reaches the mid point of the current schedule of matches.


Our company cannot be associated with the indiscipline, intimidation of opponents and wanton disregard for human life and valuable property being displayed by team officials and their supporters across the Division One League.


Yesterday, the coach of the Elmina Sharks FC was beaten mercilessly and could have been killed by supporters of opposing teams in Sekondi. Players and officials have gone through similar incidents in Bibiani and other League venues. In the case of the Bibiani incident, the referee in his own report stated that he delayed the end of the match long enough to award a penalty to the home team because he was afraid for his life. I am informed that the GFA is standing on a technicality to allow the home team to keep the points it gained this way.


We need discipline in football just as we need it in our national life. We will not condone or reward illegality and indiscipline. We cannot achieve excellence without discipline.


The GFA must act positively now. Or the suspension will turn into complete stoppage of sponsorship.


For the records, I reproduce what I wrote in August 2015:


“Football Match – Sharks Versus Dwarfs – we deserve better than this!


Just came back from a football match and unfortunately, stone throwing, insults and intimidation marred the beauty of it.


It started before the match began. I greeted Sharks fans and walked over to greet Dwarfs fans. Dwarfs’ fans greeted me with boos, insults and threw stones at me in the Stadium our Groupe Nduom company built in Elmina. During the match these fans broke through the perimeter fence and had to be chased away by the police. Some of them did the usual, tried to turn this into an NDC versus PPP affair. Why would a healthy competition turn this way? The GFA must discipline the league and the participants. Otherwise, why would anyone want to sponsor a team to play in the First Division League and why should I encourage GN Bank to continue to sponsor the league?


The match ended in a draw. But for the stones and chairs thrown and bad behavior, this would have been a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of good football played by two good teams. Thousands of people from and Elmina and Cape Coast deserve better than this.”

Former Ghana international Godwin Attram has expressed his astonishment at the quality of players in the second tier of Ghana football.


The Accra Great Olympics centre forward commended the technical qualities of players in the ongoing GN Bank Division one league and has called on the players to fine tune their mental attitude if they are to make it as footballers.


The experienced centre forward for the Wonder club amazingly joined the drop at the end of the 2014/15 FCPPL and has since been battling for their return ticket back to the top flight.


Attram touted players in the second tier league as budding talents that only needs a little bit of attention to complete their readiness for the international market.


The speedy centre forward admitted under-rating players in the second tier league before the start of last but has since changed his attitude toward players horning their skills in the GN Bank Division one league.


“The quality of players in the division one league has surprised me the most. The players’ understanding of the game is almost perfect even though sometimes you see petty mistaken committed by these chaps.


“With the quality of passing exhibited by players in the division one league, I think they have surprised me the most. Yes they are not Aas good as some of their colleagues on the premier league but their passing, aerial threat, footwork and most importantly love for the game is amazing.” Attram told sports crusader.


The Accra Great Olympics centre forward then urged players in the second tier league to live a professional life and toughen their mind set if they are to feast on their God given talent.


“The only advice I will add to players in the Division One league is for them to be mentally tough, accept the outcome of matches and continue to fight.


“They should not just drop their heads because of defeats or over celebrate because of wins. When you come to accept the three outcomes of football matches, there is nothing that can down you as a player or even supporters.” He noted.


Finally players in the Division One league must show signs of a professional footballer and let the society see you as a potential future star.” Attram concluded.
