Kurt Okraku, president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), claims that the Black Stars of Ghana were treated badly during their World Cup qualifier against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Abuja on Tuesday

Speaking at a meeting with President Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House, on Tuesday, he said he will had never encountered such level of hostility throughout his professional career.

We travelled into the lion’s den. For those of you who were at the Moshood Abiola Stadium yesterday, you’ll fully understand what I mean by to play in the lion’s den. In the morning before the game, Mr. President, I did say that our country, our proud colours will be defended vehemently by sixteen plus gallant men. Not eleven on the pitch.

Mr. President, I’ve never seen a hostile atmosphere like we went through in Abuja. I’ve never seen, sorry but I’ll say it here. I’ve never seen match officials as hostile as we found ourselves playing against yesterday. But the indomitable fighting spirit of the Ghanaian, led by an amazing technical team kept our hopes alive”, he explained.
