Coach Iddrisu S. Napari of Tiyumba Ladies has been arrested by the police in Tamale following allegations of assault against a female referee during a Northern Region Division Two League game.
The incident took place on Saturday at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium annex 3, and disturbing pictures of the assaulted referee, Mohammed Sakina Nasara, have circulated online.
After eluding authorities since Sunday, Coach Napari voluntarily turned himself in at a local police station on Monday afternoon. His decision to report to the police came after he was declared wanted in connection with the assault.
Both the Ghana Football Association and its Northern Regional wing have joined forces with law enforcement to ensure that the coach faces prosecution and appropriate sanctions.
In response to the incident, Coach Napari has been relieved of his position as the chairperson of the Women's Football Committee of the Sagnarigu Municipal Football Association.
Referee Sakina, who suffered injuries as a result of the assault, was admitted to the Tamale Technical University hospital for medical treatment.
However, she has since been discharged, although she continues to experience pain as a result of the attack.
