World Cup Visa Scandal: Kofi Adams Accuses Tribe Culture Fest CEO of Dodging $611,000 Refund

The Minister for Sports, Hon. Kofi Adams, has accused the Chief Executive Officer of Tribe Culture Fest, Nana Boateng Gyimah, of refusing to refund an amount of $611,000 he allegedly took illegally in connection with the World Cup visa scandal. The Minister made the allegation during an interview with GHOneTV, adding that the CEO is resorting to various narratives in an attempt to obscure the situation.

According to Hon. Adams, the funds in question were taken under circumstances that lacked legal justification, and efforts to secure a refund have so far proven unsuccessful. He claimed that instead of addressing the matter directly, Nana Boateng Gyimah has been pushing different accounts of events in a bid to deflect attention from the core issue.

The Minister’s comments represent a significant escalation in the ongoing saga surrounding the World Cup visa scandal, which has raised concerns about the handling of travel arrangements and related payments involving Ghanaian football supporters and officials. The scandal has attracted considerable public interest, with many Ghanaians demanding accountability and transparency.

Hon. Adams’s intervention signals that the government intends to pursue the matter and ensure that any improperly acquired funds are returned. His accusation places renewed pressure on the parties involved to respond and could pave the way for further investigations or legal action.

It remains to be seen how Nana Boateng Gyimah and Tribe Culture Fest will respond to the Minister’s claims, but the development is likely to keep the visa scandal in the headlines in the coming days.

Cabinet approves long-pending diplomatic agreement between Ghana and Holy See Ghana has taken a major step towards resolving a decades-long diplomatic matter with the Holy See following Cabinet’s approval of a Host Country Agreement governing relations between the two parties. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the development after meeting the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana, Archbishop Julien Kaboré, on Friday, October 9, 2026. Mr Ablakwa said the approval followed sustained collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Apostolic Nunciature to address an agreement that had remained pending since Ghana established formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See. The first Apostolic Nuncio arrived in Ghana in 1976, but the Host Country Agreement had yet to be finalised. The agreement, which is consistent with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, sets out the framework governing relations between Ghana and the Holy See. It also provides for specific rights, privileges and immunities for holders of ecclesiastical office and members of the Catholic faithful in Ghana. Mr Ablakwa expressed satisfaction with the progress, commending officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for working to meet the target set for the agreement. In a post on X, he also acknowledged the commitment of President John Dramani Mahama and the Attorney-General to resolving the matter. Cabinet’s approval clears the way for the agreement to be submitted to Parliament for ratification in accordance with Article 75 of the 1992 Constitution. The Foreign Affairs Minister also recognised the Catholic Church’s longstanding contribution to Ghana’s development, particularly in education and healthcare. He said the country remained grateful for the Church’s role in shaping its moral values and establishing institutions that have contributed to national development across multiple sectors. The agreement is expected to formalise important aspects of the relationship between Ghana and the Holy See, subject to parliamentary ratification.
