The club has since released a statement explaining their actions, but it's the alleged pre-match threats that have now grabbed attention.

Speaking to 3Sports, Boakye Ansah revealed the disturbing claims about what his team allegedly faced before kick-off in Basake. He shared:

We will file an official complaint to the GFA. We will see whatever decision the FA will take. Like I mentioned, we are no longer interested in Ghana football. They told us: either we lose the game [against Basake Holy Stars] or they kill someone.

The serious allegations add another layer of controversy to an already messy situation that has overshadowed what was meant to be a pivotal match in the title race.

The Kumasi-based club have threatened to quit Ghana football entirely after walking off the pitch, and confirmed they'll lodge a formal complaint with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over the weekend's events.

The controversy has left Nations FC questioning their future in Ghanaian football entirely.
