Asante Kotoko launch investigation into alleged bribery attempt ahead of All Blacks clash

Asante Kotoko has formally announced the initiation of an investigation into allegations of attempted bribery involving certain players prior to their final Ghana Premier League fixture of the 2025/26 season.

In a statement released on May 26, 2026, the club disclosed that the Board and Management convened a meeting with the players and technical team to address the team's "disappointing performance" throughout the season. The statement further revealed that management addressed reports of attempted bribery involving certain players before the club's final league game.

According to the club, investigations have commenced to establish the full facts surrounding the allegations. Kotoko commended Patrick Asiedu for his professionalism, integrity, and commitment after reportedly bringing the matter to the attention of management.

The club emphasized that it treats issues of this nature with utmost seriousness and warned that any individual found guilty after investigations would face the appropriate disciplinary sanctions.

This development comes at a challenging moment for the Porcupine Warriors following an underwhelming league campaign that has left many supporters demanding significant changes both on and off the pitch.

Management assured fans and stakeholders that the club remains committed to upholding professionalism, accountability, and integrity at all times.
