Former Ghana sports minister Vanderpuye: Free Nyantakyi Movement is not wrong

Former Ghana sports minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye believes calls for a drop of charges against embattled former Football Association (GFA) boss Kwesi Nyantakyi are not out of place.

The ex-Caf vice president has been facing fraud charges since being hit by a bribery and match-fixing scandal in June 2018.

The corruption incident saw him lose his coveted position at Caf and his GFA presidency in addition to getting an indefinite Fifa ban from all football activities.

"If people are yearning for 'Free Nyantakyi Movement', I don’t think there is anything wrong," Vanderpuye, who was heavily involved in a leadership battle with the Nyantakyi-led FA administration during his time as sports minister, told Asampa FM.
