An official with the Togo Football Federation says its president Gabriel Ameyi has been arrested with suspicion being raised that he is being prevented from seeking re-election. Ameyi, a member of the opposition political party in Togo, has been under siege with government operatives keen on him leaving the Togo FA job as elections loom. Gabriel says Ameyi was arrested at an airport in the Togolese capital Lome on Thursday after returning from the African Cup of Nations draw in Equatorial Guinea. Togo did not qualify for the Cup of Nations in January. Toussa Komi Gabriel says Ameyi’s arrest is in connection with “a business transaction,” and has nothing to do with his running of the federation. Gabriel said he has been informed by police that a businessman from Benin made a complaint against Ameyi. He didn’t give any details of any possible charges. Gabriel said Ameyi has “many other positions in his professional life. In the coming days, everybody will know the charges against him.”
