Hearts of Oak are demanding the immediate resignation of persons implicated in the latest exposé from under-cover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, dubbed #Number12.
The Ghanaian giants say those who know they have perpetuated corrupt practices must voluntarily vacate their seats.
High profile personalities including FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi was captured on camera engaging in alleged influencing peddling while several match officials are alleged to have taken bribes of various proportions to decide the outcome of games.
The Phobians were the hardest hit as several of their Premier League games in the past two years were captured by the agent of the investigate company who influenced match officials to tilt results.
But in a statement signed the the club's Chief Executive Mark Noonan on the latest piece by the controversial journalist, the club is asking persons who have perpetuated corrupt practices to quit their roles.
"We also strongly believe in due process and hope that those that have been accused have the opportunity to defend themselves without prejudice. That said, we shall call upon those who know they have done wrong to look into the mirror and do the right thing by immediately resigning from their positions."
A number of high profile personalities including FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi have been implicated in the scandal.
Several match officials and other officers of the Ghana FA have been caught in the cross-fire.

I am surprised at Hearts of Oak also not demanding an apology from Tiger Eye. They were made to believe that they had won the contest on merit and may have paid big winning bonuses to the players. Now they know they have been deceived and whatever glory they were bathing in had been cut off. It is good that Anas has brought to the fore the ills in Ghana football but at a great cost to Hearts of Oak team. Hearts are rightly asking for the heads of the football officials but what about the one who used the team as scapegoat. This methodology by Anas is most unfair.
Per the infinite logic of the all knowing, hyp0cr1t1cal and quick to crucify Ghanaian populace especially the so called holier than though sports journalist , Hearts of Oak, a team which for years have been a pale shadow of themselves probably as a result of the ineffectiveness of "ways & means" have been a beneficiary of some very dubious decisions and have now been caught in this ANAS scandal, should be disbanded or at best relegated to division lowest league in Ghana. Does the Italian Serie "A" scandal a couple of years come to mind? Ghanaians never ceases to amaze me.
