“On my own behalf and that of the FKF, we extend our sympathies to the GFA on the death of the Vice President. We also sympathize with the bereaved family and the Ghanaian football family,” Omondi told GNA Sports.

“I met him personally during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and he was a nice man. I’m very surprised about the news of his death and we mourn with all,” he added.
