Ex-Ebusua Dwarfs coach Robert Asibu denies bribery allegations

Published on: 02 April 2020

Former Ebusua Dwarfs head coach Robert Raymond Asibu has refuted claims that he received bribes from his players in exchange for selection.

Coach Asibu resigned from his post after Dwarfs lost 2-1 to Liberty Professionals – enduring a torrid run in the Ghana Premier League in which he lost all four matches in charge.

The experienced gaffer was accused of taking money from his players which intend influenced his selections during match days.

The CAF License A trainer has come out to deny such claims and dared anybody with evidence to come forward and expose him.

"It was very sad when some of section of Dwarfs supporters led by one Mr Bob Stephens accused me innocently of receiving bribes from players," he said in an interview with Cape Coast-based Yes FM.

"I’m daring any player to come out to confirm this allegations if it’s true. Some even went ahead to accused me of sabotaging head coaches I have worked with. How can a qualified CAF License A coach like me have to sabotage before I get a job."

According to Coach Asibu, he sacrificed heavily for the Cape Coast based club during his stint including having to plead with his players to play when the club was going through financial crisis.

"I sacrificed a lot for the club. Some of the Dwarfs players even boycotted training because of hunger and I sometimes even had to kneel before some of them before they accepted to join the training," he added.

"The club’s supporters vice chairman can testify to that. Those young chaps I brought to replace the out-gone senior players are currently the best players in the Dwarfs set up now. But I was accused of giving them playing time because I had taken bribe from their managers."
