Asante Kotoko management in emergency meeting following armed robbery attack on contingent
Asante Kotoko management are holding an emergency meeting following the armed robbery attack on the club's officials and players on Sunday dawn.
Players and officials of the Porcupine Warriors were subjected to physical assault by gunmen at the Tadoma Hotel in Taifa - Accra, ahead of their Ghanaian Premier League Super Clash with rivals Hearts of Oak in Accra.
General Manager Samuel Opoku Nti and George Kennedy were tied together as the gunmen assaulted players before leaving the hotel with cash and other valuable possessions of the Kotoko squad.
The robbers also angrily collected mobile phones and other collectibles of some players and flushed into a WC.

But the 23-time Ghana Premier League champions have not served any notice of their intentions to call for postponement of the highly anticipated week 25 clash at the Accra Sports Stadium.
“We had gone to the hotel earlier in the day to motivate the team but sadly we got the news of the attack by the robbers on our officials and players. But we are well ready for the game but obviously it is a sad happening ahead of the game,” Boamah told Happy FM’s Joe Debrah.
Kotoko and Hearts are both struggling to break free of relegation shackles as they each seek a win over the other.
But Kotoko are particularly aiming for a victory over the Rainbow club as they have lost both of their games in the calendar year.
