A Legal Practitioner, Egbert Faibille has said the decision by the Dzamefe Commission to make the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi\u2019s take his oath again was “overstretched.”<\/p>\n

The GFA President\u2019s decision to\u00a0swear by the Quran<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>during his first\u00a0 appearance on Tuesday, raised eyebrows as people were under the impression that he was a Christian.<\/p>\n

Checks by the Citi Sports<\/strong> desk revealed that he attended the Trinity Baptisit Church even though he was raised as a Muslim.<\/p>\n

Mr. Faible stated that Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi should not have been quizzed on his religious status since the constitution clearly indicates that \u201cpeople should have the liberty to profess whatever religion and manifest it\u201d<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”YMukizyAjLxp0otIM94zP8qlw5yaCMZV”]The saga continued at the Commission\u2019s 29th<\/sup> sitting as the GFA President was asked by the Commission to clarify his religious status.<\/p>\n

The request by the Commission, however did not go down well with him [Kwesi Nyantakyi] as he expressed his displeasure at the Commission\u2019s decision to make him swear for the second time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Court of law, will you subject me to this kind of treatment?I don\u2019t feel fairly treated with all due respect. I read this on\u00a0citifmonline.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0yesterday that you are going to this. If you like I will open it. I am not saying you told somebody but what you are doing is not any different from what is in the media, \u201c he lamented.<\/p>\n

But in a rebuttal, a member of the Commission Moses Foh Amoaning who also offense by the accusations from Mr. Nyantakyi said, \u201cI am very, very offended by the position that president of the FA has taken on the basis of an online information and presuming that the question that I asked was in fulfillment of a strategy\u2026I feel personally very offended by the position that he has taken.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Mr. Faibille said : \u201cwhat took place at the Commission between yesterday and today has been overstretched\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Nyantakyi appears before the Commission and says that he is Muslim, all that he has to do is to manifest his beliefs in Islam …which he did,\u201d Mr. Faible stated.<\/p>\n
