Dr Joseph Kabungo who was CAF’s doping officer passed on after ugly scenes following Ghana’s World Cup qualification.
The Black Stars of Ghana booked their place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the expense of Nigeria in their own soil as angry fans caused chaos after the game.
Supportera stepped into the pitch in numbers and destroyed valuables in the stadium as players needed to escape to their tunnel.
