He spent two days in Police custody.

Awal in an interview with Joy FM has revealed his only intention was to take a picture with Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.

"I heard they (Black Stars) will be stopping at Mankessim, but I knew the only opportunity I had to take a picture with Thomas Partey was on the field, that is why I rushed there", he said.

His detention has divided opinions in the public with a social media trend asking for the release Awal.

FA President Kurt Okraku and members of the Association in the central region ensured the zealous fan was taken through the process of bail successfully on Saturday morning.
