The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has provisionally suspended ten Ghanaian referees due to their acts in investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ football corruption documentary.
The officials – a mixture of centre and assistant referees will meet Caf’s Disciplinary Board together with Liberia’s Jerry Yekeh next month.
In a press release Saturday, Caf announced: “The following officials are provisionally suspended pending their appearance in front of the Disciplinary Board on 5th August 2018.
- Mr. Lathbridge Reginald, Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Bello Aboudou, Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Nantierre Eric, Assistant Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Fleischer Cecil, Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Anafo Nathan, Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Ouedraogo Dawood, Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Salifu Malik, Assistant Referee (Ghana)
- Mrs. Akongyam Theresa, Women Assistant Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Badiu Brahim, Assistant Referee (Ghana)
- Mr. Yekeh Jerry, Referee (Liberia)
- Mr. David Laryea, Assistant Referee (Ghana)
One match official in Caf’s list that will hardly amaze football fans is Reginald Lathbridge. The referee, who leads the list, is already serving a lifetime ban in Ghana for his awful mistake that led to the delay in the start of the 2017/18 ZylofonCash Premier League.
He was later shown in the June 6 documentary by Anas as among referees who took money to influence matches.
