Ghanaians are outraged by the corruption exposed by controversial undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas who exposed 77 Ghanaian referees and 14 officials of the football association including its president Kwesi Nyantakyi for engaging in corrupt acts.

The documentary, titled #Number12, was screened on Wednesday in Accra and watched by thousands of Ghanaians for free. Dozens of referees were caught on camera taking bribes to fix local league matches.

Top officials of the various football associations were also caught in the act and took monies as low as $200 to influence matches and allow unqualified players to get a call-up to the national team Black Stars.
