Former Black Stars midfielder, Charles Asampong Taylor has lauded the Ghana Police for taking measures to curb hooliganism at match centers across the country.
The Police arrested the team manager and a player of Techiman Eleven Wonders last Saturday for an attack on a linesman of their game against Accra Lions in the Ghana Premier League.
In an interview with Angel TV’s Saddick Adams, the 40-year-old commended the security personnel for taking action and has recommended the Nsawam prison be expanded.

“If he’s going to continue like this, I think they first need to expand Nsawam Prison. They need to clear a new site for a new prison for football hooligans alone because even the next Kotoko vs Hearts match alone, they can arrest at least twenty. And then the Division One League, they’ll get new batch every weekend. I think they need a new site after Nsawam for this,” added the former Hearts and Kotoko player.
Meanwhile, Eleven Wonders team manager Ernest Amoh and winger Mohammed Amin Adams have been remanded to two weeks in police custody.
The pair attacked a linesman in the Ghana Premier League matchday 6 encounter against Accra Lions.

The ex-footballer turned pundit said on Angel TV that, the former Ghana captain should have considered his role with the senior national team before talking.
