According to him, the team found their way to Norway with forged documents.

"The Ghana Paralympic Team has not sent anybody, written a letter, or applied for a visa at the Norwegian embassy. We have not had any intention to participate in an event which is an Olympic in Norway."

"Upon our checks, we realized that the letter was written, they (former Secretary General for the Ghana Amputee Football Association and the founder of Ernestee foundation) forged my signature, and applied for a visa for people who are not athletes," he said.
