Adams Accuses Tribe Culture Fest CEO of Dodging Refund of $611,000 in World Cup Visa Scand

According to a report by GHOne TV on Sunday, October 11, 2026, Ghana’s Sports Minister, Kofi Adams, has accused the CEO of Tribe Culture Fest, Nana Boateng Gyimah, of avoiding the refund of $611,000 he allegedly took illegally in connection with the World Cup visa scandal.

Speaking on the matter, the Minister stated that Mr. Gyimah has been deliberately evading his obligation to return the money. He further alleged that the Tribe Culture Fest CEO is “pushing all sorts of narratives to obscure the situation,” in an apparent effort to shift public attention away from the central issue of the missing funds.

The Minister’s remarks add to the growing public attention around the World Cup visa scandal, which has raised serious concerns about accountability and the handling of funds linked to Ghana’s participation in the tournament. His comments signal the government’s determination to keep pressing for the money to be recovered.

The allegations come at a time when many Ghanaians are following the story closely, given the strong public interest in how funds tied to national sporting events are managed. The scandal has sparked widespread conversation on social media and in the news, with many calling for transparency and fairness in the process.

Observers say the matter highlights the need for clear accountability in the organisation of events connected to national sports. They add that a transparent, evidence-based approach from all parties involved will be essential to restoring public confidence.

The Sports Minister’s public stance places the issue firmly in the national spotlight and raises expectations for a resolution. As the story develops, attention will remain on how the matter is handled and whether the $611,000 will be returned.
