The High Court has placed an interim injunction on the activities of Ghana Football Association,following a legal suit brought before it by the Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo.
The court’s order restraints the GFA and all members from conducting any official business for the next 10 days. By the order of the court, the association cannot among other things organise football matches.
The Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo filed a petition on behalf of government at the High Court for the dissolution of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after its top officials were implicated in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Number 12 exposé.
