Head Coach of Aduana Stars football club, Yusif Abubakar has indicated that his life is in danger after some supporters of the club cautioned him to leave Dormaa Ahenkro or face their wrath.
Aduana Stars after losing to ASEC Mimosas in Cote d’ Ivoire drew three all with Moroccan giants, Raja Casablanca in Dormaa; a scoreline that has left the Ghana Premier League Champions at the bottom of the standings in the CAF Confederations Cup.
Speaking to Accra-based Happy FM, the coach indicated that ““Some Aduana Stars supporters are threatening to kill me because we drew with Raja because they lost their bets”.
“They stopped myself and players when were going to the dressing room during the first half that we should dare not lose the match because they’ve bet on win for Aduana but I thought it was a mere saying.”
“Yesterday I went to the central mosque to pray and two supporters physically attacked me. They ordered me to leave the town in the next 24 hours else they will do something bad to me. Fortunately I was not hurt but a gentleman who came to my rescue was punched in the process. I’ve reported the case to the Police Station.”
“Aduana Stars officials are fully aware of these threats. I am very concerned and worried about the threats on my players because whether they were two supporters or not, a threat is a threat, however, the police promised to arrest them this dawn.”
“Insha Allah, nothing will happen to me and my family in Dormaa and I believe management of Aduana Stars will handle the matter.”
“It’s unfortunately we drew but the boys were determined to win and they played well. We don’t know what will happen when we go for the away matches.”
