The two people who were believed to have led the assault on the match officials last Sunday at the Tamale Sports Stadium after the Ghana Premier League game between Real Tamale United (RTU) and Aduana Stars have appeared before a Tamale Circuit Court on Wednesday morning.
The suspects, Mohammed Hafiz (Double) and Rauf Abdulai (Lahabali) were seen in a viral video on social media leading the charge on the referees after the match had ended 1-1 last Sunday.
The sitting was adjourned to the 7th April, 2022. Diamond FM Sports sources says the two are however open to bail with conditions.
Rauf Abdulai reported himself to the police on Tuesday morning while Mohammed Hafiz had to be picked up by the police later on the same day.
Management of RTU it is believed played a crucial role in assisting the police pick up the suspects. A close management source who pleads anonymity says they will ensure the right thing is done and the culprits punished accordingly.
The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Monday banned the Tamale Stadium indefinitely with immediate effect due to those disturbances.
The decision it was said was taken following the assault on the Match Officials by the home supporters in the Ghana Premier League match between Real Tamale United FC (RTU) and Aduana FC on Sunday, March 20, 2022.
The Executive Council also said that the GFA’s Competitions Department will now fix the venues for the upcoming home matches of Real Tamale United FC with due regards to the distance to be travelled by the away teams.
