Signed by Special Assistant to the Executive Chairman, Opoku Nti, the letter recalled events that led to the destruction of the bus in Berekum.
“After the said match fans of Berekum Arsenal football club attacked players and officials who were in the Kotoko team bus with stones and other objects and in the process smashed the windscreen of the team bus,” the letter read.
“Consequently one of our players, Rashid Sumaila and two supporters got injured.
