Sources say, per Kurt Okraku’s report to the CID, an individual only identified as David, confessed to the GFA president that he had been hired by Wilfred Kwaku Osei, to end Kurt Okraku’s life.

Per the report, David further indicated that he had been offered a sum of GHS200,000 as payment for the ”job”.

David, according to Kurt Okraku’s account, made the confession out of his ”affinity and admiration” for the GFA boss. He is said to have asked for payment for informing Kurt about the plot against him, and for sparing his life.

After interrogating Kurt Okraku’s account, the CID informed the accused, Wilfred Kwaku Osei of the accusations made against him and formally invited him to report to its Regional Headquarters on Friday, August 25, 2023.

The leadership of the CID reportedly agreed to the request.

On Monday, the accused was accompanied by his lawyers, including former president of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, to the Regional Headquarters of the CID.

After giving his account, Kwaku Osei was asked to make another appearance on Thursday, September 7, 2023.
