Samuel Inkoom has broken his silence over reports claiming that he is wanted by the police for involvement in fraud.
Inkoom was seen in a self-recorded video and urged the public to disregard any news related to him concerning visa racketeering.
Expressing distress in the video, Samuel Inkoom emphatically stated that he has personally reached out to the Cantonments Police Department, and they have disclaimed any involvement in the viral flyer circulating on social media declaring him wanted.
He further mentioned that he has instructed his legal representatives to investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
“There is something going on through social media….Somebody claiming something against me. I’ve already managed to contact the headquarters Police in Cantonments and they’ve already told me this is not coming from them, this is not official from them and they can not do such a thing” some part of his speech says.

A report making the rounds suggest that Samuel Inkoom, a former midfielder for the Black Stars has been declared wanted by the Police.
While the authenticity of the report is yet to be confirmed, it claims that the Ghanaian footballer is currently under police investigation for his alleged involvement in a visa racketeering scheme.
It was also added in the report that, Inkoom purportedly misled individuals by falsely assuring them of obtaining visas to the Netherlands.
The Cantonments police are actively pursuing the 34-year-old player in connection with the allegations surrounding this alleged visa scam. Verification of these claims is currently underway.
A flier with an uppercase caption making the rounds on X formerly (Twitter) reads: “EX-BLACK STAR PLAYER AND BRAND AMBASSADOR OF PLUS1 ENERGY DRINKS, SAMUEL INKOOM IS A WANTED BY THE CANTONMENT DIVISIONAL POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN A VISA FRAUD CASE WHICH OCCURRED RECENTLY,” the flier claims.
“HE’S ON A FALSE PRETENCE TAKING MONEY FROM VICTIMS ALL IN THE NAME OF SECURING THEM VISAS TO THE NETHERLANDS.NOW HE IS ON THE RUN AND WANTED BY THE POLICE, KINDLY ASSIST THE POLICE BY CALLING CANTONMENT POLICE STATION BEWARE OF VISA FRAUD, ” it adds.

Inkoom made his debut for Black Stars on November 28 during the team’s encounter with Tunisia in 2008 and retired in 2010.
Back in 2017, Samuel Inkoom, aged 28 at the time, encountered a one-year FIFA ban stemming from his participation in a 2014 transfer deal. In this deal, he was convicted of deceiving an agent.
FIFA mandated him to pay $65,000 to the creditor, Curtis Willet. Unfortunately, Inkoom did not meet his financial commitments to the agent following his transfer from the Ukrainian side Dnipro.
Surprisingly, Samuel Inkoom has not provided a response to the alleged fraud case, which has resulted in his being sought by law enforcement authorities.
