Kwame Adzagba, the player at the centre of controversy between Real Tamale United (RTU) and Zaytuna United FC over his alleged ineligibility to play for the former has been granted bail by the Police in Tamale.
Police sources say he was arrested and released a few days ago to report at the Police headquarters in Accra tomorrow to assist them in their investigations.
Last August, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Disciplinary Committee dismissed a protest by Zaytuna against RTU over fielding Adzagba who allegedly played in their crucial last match of the One Touch Premier League without a valid international Transfer Certificate (ITC), residence and work permits as required by the GFA regulations.
Zaytuna further claimed the player was a Togolese national. RTU won the controversial 30th week fixture 2-1 at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
The disciplinary committee held that the player possessed a valid Ghanaian passport which proves that he was a Ghanaian and did not require an ITC as was contended by Zaytuna’s legal team at the hearing.
Zaytuna also claimed the player allegedly registered for two different national associations within the same season with forged documentation and illegal nationality switch.
The Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of RTU, Mr Kasim Abdallah, in a telephone chat with the Daily Graphic confirmed the story and said he would accompany the player to Accra for further investigation into the matter.
“Last Friday we were informed that Adzagba should be arrested, he was subsequently arrested by the Police but was bailed to appear in Accra on Tuesday for further investigations” Mr Kasim stated.
