The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has honoured a policeman and called on the authorities to promote him for his bravery and dedication.
ASP Avornyoh was presented with a plaque and Ten Million Cedis for his courageousness in preventing hooligans from lynching a referee during a match.
ASP Hilarious Avornyoh vigilantly protected referee Kyeremanteng when he was attacked by fans of Ebusua Dwarfs during a league match in March.
The policeman defied the missiles being thrown at the referee and used his body as a shield against the objects being thrown at the match official during Dwarfs match against Aduana Stars in Cape Coast.
He suffered serious injuries while protecting the referee, who was also hospitalized in the wake of the attack by the hooligans.
A member of congress Mohammed Alhassan of Medeama Football Club asked the GFA to urge the Police Administration to promote ASP Avornyoh for his bravery and dedication.
The Acting GFA General Secretary Emmanuel Gyimah confirmed that the federation has already written to the authorities to recommend the policeman for promotion.
Sports Minister Hon. Kofi Humado presented the plaque and cash to ASP Avornyoh, who dedicated the award to the people of Ghana.

good….but when will the hooligans who attacked dr kk sarpong in the medeama and kotoko game last year be brought to book? when will the referee who had 50mil in his adidas boot in a game in cape coast be sanctioned. Is it because ‘amanyin’ a fake national security coordinator and an fa executive committee member are indited? eyes are searching and ears are wide open.
Presented with a gift of 10 million cedis??? Eh! GSN.
old ghana cedis i guess
GFA NEEDS TO HIRE THE POLICE OR SECURITY AGENCIES TO WORK PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN U WATCH GAMES IN EUROPE OR N AMERICA, U SEE THE POLICE AROUND THE TEAM BOOTHS N PRIVATE SECURITY MEN N WOMEN BY THE SIDES OF ALL STADIA ENTRANCES N EVEN ON THE FIELD. I THINK ITS TIME GFA ADOPTED THIS STRATEGY. WE SHOULDNT WAIT FOR SMTHING TO HAPPEN BEFORE WE PROVIDE SUCH AMENITIES. THIS WILL ALSO CREATE JOBS!
They need 2 bring in soldiers to protect the game..
