Baku:The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has reiterated his demand for Nana Boateng Gyimah, the Chief Executive Officer of Tribe Culture Fest, to be held accountable in the ongoing 2026 World Cup visa scandal. This comes in the wake of legal threats from the CEO.
According to Ghana Web, Kofi Adams previously accused Gyimah of collecting over $600,000 from victims and failing to issue refunds. In response, Gyimah issued a press release on October 12, 2026, denying the allegations and asserting that all actions were in line with agreements with state institutions.
The CEO has challenged the sports minister to back up his accusations with evidence. Gyimah insists that if Adams cannot provide proof, he should retract his statements to avoid legal consequences. Despite this, the minister remains unfazed by the potential lawsuit, maintaining his stance and demand for accountability.
Adams emphasized that those involved, including any implicated government officials, should be held responsible for fraud. He highlighted that despite prior warnings to Ghanaians regarding the World Cup, those who were defrauded still deserve justice. Adams stated that investigations were conducted, revealing meetings between Tribe Culture Fest and other parties, reinforcing his call for reimbursement of the collected funds.
