You are evil- Alhaji Akanbi slams referee A board member Hearts of Oak, Alhaji Akanbi has described referee Kenny Paddy as a devil.
His comment comes after the match official awarded Asante Kotoko a penalty in their match day 24 tie at the Baba Yara stadium on Sunday.
Kotoko’s Fabio Gama went down in the Hearts of Oak’s box after minimal contact from Abdul Aziz. Frank Etoya Mbella scored to smack all the three point for the porcupine warriors.
“We have only one truth and then we have to say it as it is,” Akanbi told Berekum based Akwaaba FM. “I had a call from some countries like America, Canada and London after the game what’s wrong with the referee? “He was sitting like an angel during the pre-match as if he cannot talk but not knowing he was having a mindset while we were thinking about the beauty of the game.
He knows what he was thinking about, and might even see us as a fool. “He is a devil.” That referee is a devil and should be ashamed of himself for his performance yesterday, genuinely he came with a score line in his pocket. “Hearts of Oak will never allow him to officiate any Hearts of Oak game again. “I need his number because I want to blast him,” he said.
The win means Kotoko go 16 points clear of their archivals with 10 games still to go while the closest to Kotoko are Bechem United, who are eight points behind the league leaders.
