Kwesi Nyantaki was seen in a hotel conversation soliciting 11 million dollars from the investor. To influence the president of Ghana , Nana Akufo Addo , ministers and Vice president Dr Bawumia. For generous contracts with huge profits to be made by Alhaji , the Businessman. Nyantakyi impressed the Alhaji that the president was a friend. That president was broke. He sold his family properties for campaigns to win the presidential election. So 5 million US dollars could just make him give out required contracts. But for the Vice 3 million USD was fine. Others including relevant ministers could be settled with remaining 3 million dollars. Football Governing Council found Nyantakyi violated FIFA Code of Ethics and guilty of Bribery and Corruption. He was also fined about 500000 US dollars.
