Big plot against Bekoe foiled

By Thomas Boakye-Agyeman

The assault and collapse of Asante Kotoko striker Eric Bekoe leading to his subsequent hospitalization at the Nsawam Government Hospital is believed to have been plotted by someone or group of people to cause harm to the prolific striker.

Information pieced together by this paper indicate that the leading striker in the country at the moment had been forewarned by several people before the match including anonymous callers that he would be a target of rough play in last Sunday’s match all in an effort to silence him.

 

Courageous and prayerful as he is, Bekoe prayed over it after informing some colleagues and vowed to do his best for Kotoko. Luckily, he was included in the match and started so well, combining beautifully with Kwadwo Poku and best pal Daniel Nii Adjei. Little did Bekoe knew what was in store for him as right from the very first minute Daniel Coleman visited on him a wicked tackle. It continued for the rest of the game and by the 20th minute, Bekoe’s jersey had completely been torn apart by his marker.

 

Back from recess, it took the spectators several minutes of booing Referee Fletcher to convince the referee to reluctantly show Coleman a yellow card. But that did not stop the Hearts player from visiting more rough tackles on Bekoe which most often went unpunished.

But all these were what the eye could see. Unknown to all spectators and even Bekoe himself, there was even a bigger plot against the Kotoko hit man and was supposed to have been executed in the second half.

 

Bekoe tells the Kotoko Express that a strange man who was positioned near the entrance to the dressing room used a sharp object which felt like a needle on his right shoulder as he was heading towards the dressing room. He said he was following team mate Francis Akwaffo and saw the man touch Akwaffo gently on the shoulder before doing the same to him.

 

He said he immediately felt a strange sensation in his body and only turned to find out the man has moved away. The player said he seriously suspected that an opponent also injected him with a similar object in the second half during an off the ball incident, which left him dazed and unable to recount whatever happened in the second half.

 

Bekoe thus returned to the second half an unfit player and seemed to remember very little of what transpired during the 45 minutes of the second half. It was as a result of this that made the player collapse in the Kotoko team bus during the return journey to Kumasi, culminating in the player being rushed to the Nsawam Hospital.

 

It is not known how far management will take the matter to but at the time of going to press, indications were that management was contemplating reporting the conduct of some individuals to the GFA and possibly the police.

No wonder, the players of Hearts are poor and cannot seek for transfer to other teams because, the players were being controlled buy juju and spirit from their officials. They should know that the spirit of Asante Kotoko is bigger them.
God bless Kotoko, God bless the supporters of Asante Kotoko. We are the best.

Eric don't be afraid for God is on your side and he will fight for you. They are jealous that you are playing so good and scoring important goals for Kotoko. Dont worry for there are more good things to come your way and Kotoko as a whole. May God bless you and all the Kotoko players and all true Kotoko followers. Faaaaaabulous is the BEST

WE THANK GOD FOR SAVING BEKOE FROM THE HANDS OF OUR ENEMIES. ALL THEIR DEVILISH PLANS WILL GO BACK TO THEM. I EXPECT THAT THE MANAGEMENT TAKE ANY POSSIBLE ACTION AGAINST SUCH WICKED ACTS.

shame GFA, I KNOW GFA SUPPORT HEARTS IN EVERYTHING THEY DO, WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME TO THEM WHEN THEY COME KUMASI.
JUJU IS KILLING HEARTS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT, THATS IS WHY COLEMAN IS STILL IN GHANA PLAYING LOCALLY.

GOD IS NOT A HUMAN BEING. HEARTS WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED. THIS MAY LAND THEM IN RELEGATION. SUPPORTERS OF HEARTS OF OAK IN KUMASI SHOULD ADVISE THEIR TEAM. MEANWHILE, I STRONGLY URGE ALL KOTOKO PLAYERS TO BE FAITHFUL TO EITHER GOD (JESUS)OR ALLAH BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE EITHER CHRISTIANS OR MOSLEMS. MANAGEMENT SHOULD STOP ALL OCCULTIC PRACTICES TO WIN MATCHES BUT TO PROVIDE THE CLUB WITH A RICH LIBRARY CONTAINING VIDEOS OF FOOTBALL CLUBS AND TEAMS ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL AFRICA, WEST AFRICA, NORTH AFRICA, EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICA. THE TECHNICAL TEAM SHOULD THEN HARMONIZE THEIR TACTICS WITH THOSE DISPLAYED IN THE MATCHES ON THE TAPES AND TRANSFER THAT TO THE PLAYERS DURING TRAINING AND YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS.
THANK GOD FOR SAVING ERIC BEKOE'S LIFE FROM DEMONS.

Do not be afraid, Bekoe, I know that now you have become an enemy to every player in any team that meets Kotoko. God will protect you in all spheres. May the good Lord be your light and salvation, when people turn against you the good Lord will protect you.
Bekoe do not give up. It has happened to so many players but I will urge you to always outwit your markers by moving from one place to the other. Do not always make it your desire to score.
I will like to urge your strike partners to take their time and rather score as you operate on a quiet.
Also learn to shoot from afar instead of getting closer to the 18 yards.
These are some of the hazards when you play for the soccer university of Ghana, Kumasi Asante but do not despair.
I urge all supporters to always fast and pray for all our players especially Bekoe.
May the Almighty God be your guide and protector.
Be prayerful.

Bekoe will never fall until he for fill his dream. shame heart of ork ","Submit"
"","This confirms what one Hearts fan told me just before the match. I did not take him serious 'cos thought it was one of those normal jokes. He told me he has Akwafo and our striker and I should mark it they will collapse. What he said was exactly what happened to our boys. I can identify the man anytime. I will see 'SHOW SHOW' on this.

I would like to say that if juju really works in football, Kotoko would be occupying the last but one position of this competitive premier league. As a Kotoko supporter I would like to tell my players to only seek powers from the supreme saviour and not the other 'one'. With God I hope no one on this universe can change your destiny so Erick, keep faith in God and you would be the most enviable player for the next 10 years. And to Hearts, wth juju, last but one position is possible.
