Photos: WTH? UAE Based Ghanaian Footballer, Asamoah Gyan In Human Sacrifice Controversy

Former Ghana international and brother to Black Stars captain and Al Ain star Asamoah Gyan, Baffour Gyan, has been released on bail by Ghanaian police following the assault of a journalist in his home country, according to reports by local media.

The elder brother Asamoah, Baffour Gyan reportedly assaulted Daniel Kenu, the Regional Editor of Ghana's Daily Graphic newspaper after the latter picked up accreditation for the African Cup of Nations qualifier between Ghana and Uganda.
Reports from Ghanaian press claim that Kenu was approached by six men, including Baffour Gyan, before they proceeded to beat him and leave him in need of hospital treatment.
The incident, that allegedly took place on Friday (September 5), came two days after Kenu had asked the Ghana skipper a question about his missing friend, musician Castro.
Asamoah Gyan was holidaying with Castro, real name Theophilus Tagoe, when the singer and his girlfriend went missing after renting a jet-ski. The singer has never been found and is reported to have drowned.

However, Gyan has faced accusations in his homeland that he sacrificed Castro as part of a religious ritual. At the press conference, Kenu asked the striker to clarify his side of the story.
“This will not be in a good taste... It has nothing to do with the upcoming match but I wish to appeal to Asamoah Gyan to clear the air.. There is this allegation that you sacrificed Castro for whatever reason..." Kenu is reported to have said.
His question drew a furious response from Gyan who had to be held back by another journalist Stephen Asante as he tried to confront the reporter, according to the Daily Graphic newspaper.
Meanwhile, a strongly worded statement from Ghana Journalists’ Association, and featured on World Soccer defended Kenu's line of questioning and hit out at his attackers.
“The GJA finds it strange and shocking that such a nice opportunity given to the player should be abused It should be put on record that whether Asamoah Gyan likes it or not the rumour is out there and the reporter without any malice wished that he used the occasion to clear himself.
“In any case, why did Baffour Gyan not lead thugs to attack Lawyer Justice Ampah when he called for the arrest of Asamoah Gyan for questioning in the wake of the Castro tragedy?
“The GJA would like to remind the family of Gyan to stop thinking that their so called popularity in football could clothe them with authority to treat journalists with contempt.”
