The Chief Executive officer of Bofoakwa Tano football club,Mr.Apraku Tuffour this afternoon released two secret recordings of a conversation supposedly between an alleged former football coach,a team manager and two bofoakwa players.

According to Mr.Apraku,the tape was recorded secretly before the Bofoakwa vrs Ashgold game at the sunyani coronation park and the Bofoakwa vrs King Faisal match.

Speaking to HOMEBASE MEDIA in Sunyani,Mr.Apraku gave the names of the voices on the tapes as former Bofoakwa Coach Jonas Amissah,BA United team manager Ayoma Moro,Bofoakwa goalie Yaw Kumapreh and Amadu Adams aka Mbah, a midfielder of Bofoakwa.

Below is the transcript of the 1st tape recording.

YK:Coach,the match has just ended.

JA:What was the scoreline?

YK:We lost 1-0

JA:Are you still at the stadium?

YK:I have just left the stadium heading towards Twene Amanfo Secondary School.

JA:What happened in camp yesterday?Because i hear people were mentioning my name.

YK:Well there were rumours in camp that you have spoken to some players about the Ashgold vrs Bofoakwa game.

JA:OK.I will speak to Kojo Fianoo this evening and get back to you.

Tape 2

AM:Hello,is that Mbah?

AA:Yes.

AM:What are you guys saying?

AA:Tell the King Faisal guys if they can make it 10million.

AM:They told me they were prepared to make it 3million.

AA:We have just left camp and would be waiting at Yamfo junction for you.

AM.I will contact them again.The last time i spoke to them,they said you should wait after the game.I dont think they are even serious.You play it hard in the first half.Am sure they will come and see me in the second half.

AA:OK Meanwhile when HomeBase Media contacted Mr.Kofo Manu a management member of Ashgold,He said Ashgold has never met Coach Jonas Amissah."How can we speak to a coach who has been sacked by his club to throw away a match?

Bofo is desperate and should find a means to survive"He said.

Bofo has since submitted the two tapes the case to the BNI.
