Alhaji Abdulai Anass, the President of Thunder FC is accusing Asante Kotoko of turning Imoro Ibrahim into a beggar after failing to pay his signing on fee, as well as unpaid wages and winning bonuses for some months.

The former Ghana youth defender signed for the Porcupine Warriors from the lower division side at the beginning of the 2019/2020 season on a 4-year-deal.

After 6 months, his GHS80,000 signing on fee is yet to be paid.

Alhaji Abdulai Anass made these claims in an interview with Kumasi FM today.

“Many clubs wanted to sign Ibrahim Imoro but I decided to give him to Asante Kotoko because it is the club I support. I was promised I will be paid the GHC 80,000 before the season ends but not a penny has been paid to me till now.

“My player Imoro Ibrahim calls me every day for the money to buy food because his salaries and bonuses have not been paid",

He added, “He has to resort to Habib Mohammed for food because of his affiliation with him. There are more revelations to the issue I wouldn’t want to address on live radio”.he concluded.

Since arriving at Asante Kotoko, Imoro Ibrahim has been impressive and has a goal to his name after making 11 appearances.
