Kotoko have offered their support to Prince Boateng insisting that the player claims he is innocent in the wake of a defilement claim against the midfielder.
Boateng is reported to be on the radar of the police for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old primary six school pupil in Kumasi.
The Porcupine Warriors said in a statement that they are not shielding him from facing the law to answer the allegations.
“The Management of Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC has taken notice of allegations of defilement leveled against our player, Prince Boateng,†read the Kotoko statement signed by administrative manager Ben Nti.
“The player has denied these allegations and at this trying moment, management will like to state and affirm that we stand by our player and he has the full support of management and the playing body of our club.
“Management also wishes to state its avowed commitment to assisting our security agencies in unraveling the truth or otherwise of these allegations.
“Supporters and players of our beloved club are entreated to remain calm in the face of these accusations.
“Until the investigations are completed, there will be no further comment by the player or the club.â€
Boateng is expected to face the Kumasi Police after Sunday’s clash with arch rivals Hearts of Oak.
