According to the statement, the formal complaint has been lodged with the Ghana Police Service, with the NSA indicating that it is fully cooperating with the Police to facilitate the necessary investigation and appropriate action.
The Authority also sought to assure its staff, stakeholders and the general public that the safety of Mr Ampofo Ankrah remains a priority.
“The NSA wishes to assure its staff, stakeholders and the general public that the Director-General is safe,” the statement said.
It added that the Director-General, together with the staff of the NSA, remains focused on the mandate of the Authority and will continue to work diligently in the best interest of Ghana’s sports ecosystem.
The NSA further reaffirmed its commitment to the safety and well-being of its staff and stakeholders and said it would continue to cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities in addressing the matter.
