Hearts Player Denies Smoking Shisha

HEARTS OF Oak’s intelligent player, Malik Akowuah, has denied rumours circulating that he smokes Shisha, a tobacco substance.

He has therefore appealed passionately to the club’s teeming supporters and his fans not to believe such false reports going round.

The Hearts of Oak player stated that he is a disciplined footballer, who would never indulge in smoking in any form.

A picture of Malik Akowuah, who was captured seated before a Shisha object, had gone viral on social media platforms in recent days.

The player had since come under severe verbal assaults and criticism from Hearts supporters and soccer fans in general.

But speaking on Nhyira FM in Kumasi on Tuesday, Akowuah denied the message the picture seemed to portray, and explained that he attended a friend’s birthday on that fateful day where some of the attendants were smoking Shisha.

According to him, he was having a look at how the smoking object looked like when someone took a picture of him.

He said he was surprised when he later saw the picture on social media suggesting he was smoking.

He hinted that the Hearts of Oak Team Manager officially called him about the issue, and that he had explained to his boss the circumstances leading to the photograph.
