Sierra Leone's Kargbo accused of match-fixing

The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) says it has uncovered evidence of match-fixing by former Sierra Leone international Ibrahim Kargbo .It is alleged that in August 2009 Kargbo, then a Willem II player, tried to fix a match against FC Utrecht.
The KNVB also said Kargbo had tried to fix the result of a benefit match between Willem II and Sierra Leone in 2009.
Kargbo was suspended by the Sierra Leone Football Association in 2014 over match-fixing allegations.
Sierra Leone's footballer Ibrahim Kargbo has denied allegations by the Dutch Football Association that he was involved in match-fixing in Holland 
Kargbo, told Nick Cavell that it's unbelievable to accuse him of fixing a match in a club that he has been a best player for three years. 
"It's not in my style. It'ss not in my football," he said.
"For me, it's a lot of stress. It has killed my career. I have been having a sleepless night for something I knew nothing about," Kargbo added.
He also denied any knowledge of match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal, with whom he was accused of  collaborating to fix matches.
