Dr Amo Sarpong, the Policy Analyst of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been banned from all football-related activities by the Normalisation Committee.
The ban comes after Dr Sarpong, popularly called Energy was beaten by fans of Berekum Chelsea FC after he pulled a gun and fired warning shots.
The Normalisation Committee in a statement indicated that though he has been banned the incident is being invested by the GFA Disciplinary Committee.
“The Normalization Committee of the Ghana Football Association has ordered a TEMPORARY BAN on Dr. Amo Sarpong, an official of Asante Kotoko SC from all football related activities.
This decision has become necessary due to his alleged involvement in an unfortunate gunshot incident that occurred during a Day Eight match between Berekum Chelsea FC and Asante Kotoko SC played on Sunday, 28th April, 2019 at the Berekum Golden City Park.
This order is without prejudice to the determination of the case pending before the GFA Disciplinary Committee and the Berekum Police Command.
Meanwhile, the GFA Disciplinary Committee has been charged to hear the case in accordance with the GFA Regulations,” the statement read.
Energy was first given medical treatment at a hospital in Berekum before he was transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
Energy, in a tweet, described the Berekum Golden City Park as a “dangerous” ground and called on the government to do something about it before the “worst” happens.
