Former Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has been spotted in public in a long while.

The embattled football administrator was spotted at the 80th birthday celebration of the Togbega Delume VII.

Togbega Delume, the paramount chief of the Ve Traditional Area in the Afadzato South district in the Volta region, turned 80 years old over.

A big birthday celebration was held in Togbeba Delume's honour over the weekend and Nyantakyi was one of the people who celebrated with him.

In a photo from the celebration, the former GFA president was sighted posing with Yayra Klu, a granddaughter of Togbega Delume.

The photo as sighted by YEN.com.gh shows Nyantakyi has got a new look. He is now sporting a beard as compared to his clean-shaven face.

Nyantakyi's appearance at the Togbega Delume's birthday happens to be his first public appearance to be seen on social media since Anas Aremeyaw Anas' Number 12 documentary.

As reported by YEN.com.gh, Nyantakyi was caught in Anas' documentary using President Nana Akufo-Addo's name to engage in alleged shady deals.

He was also seen at a point receiving money, which according to Anas' video, was a bribe from an undercover reporter who posed as a foreign investor.

Just days after the premiere of the much talked about documentary from the multiple award-winning journalist, Nyantakyi resigned from his position as the GFA president.

Nyantakyi who was also the first vice president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) was subsequently handed a lifetime ban from football by FIFA.

But the ban for the 52-year-old was recently reduced to 12 years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The reduction of Nyantakyi followed an appeal the former GFA boss filed at the court which was ruled in his favour.
