Dr. Martin Luther Obeng is bent on demonstrating against FIFA over the 90-day ban on Kwesi Nyantakyi for allegedly misconducting himself in the ‘Number 12’ expose’.
Self-acclaimed spokesperson for the ex-GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi says he will demonstrate against the world football governing body in Zurich over the ban on the former boss of Ghana football.
He explained that Anas Aremeyaw Anas the multiple award winning journalist behind the 'Number 12' sting operation lied about carrying out the work in collaboration with BBC after the British based media house denied it wasn’t a joint project, but the documentary was solely done by the journalist.

Dr. Obeng has argued that FIFA should reinstate Nyantakyi because Anas Aremeyaw Anas claims of collaborating with the BBC were fabricated.
Speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM, Dr Obeng said, “Anas is not an honest person. Initially he said he collaborated with the BBC to do this project; now the BBC have denied that they jointly own the documentary. This is one of many untruths that Anas has said. So we are saying he is not an upright person and thus his work cannot be trusted. Look, in the coming days I will stage a one-man demonstration at FIFA headquarters and protest the 90-day suspension of Mr Nyantakyi.”
Dr Obeng also claims sting operations, also known as undercover journalism, are banned in Dubai, where Anas and his team met Kwesi Nyantakyi and recorded him for the exposé.
Kwesi Nyantakyi has currently lost his standing and all positions in local and international football after Anas Aremeyaw screened his latest exposé, dubbed #Number12, which captured him [Nyantakyi] allegedly detailing how he was going to personally benefit from a supposed $15 million sponsorship money for Ghana’s league.
Nyantakyi also detailed to the supposed investor, how he [the investor] could be given several government contracts if he pays bribes to some key government officials such as Ghana’s President and Vice-President.
