The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has cleared Liberian referee Jerry Yekeh from all allegations of corruption.

Yekeh was one of many African match officials secretly filmed by investigative Ghanaian journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

He was filmed at the 2017 West African Football Union Nations Cup finals in Ghana. However the footage did not explicitly show him receiving money.

The Fifa referee was among several officials provisionally banned in July pending submissions to a Caf disciplinary board.

Caf has now exonerated Yekeh "after a thorough check of the elements presented to them regarding the violation of Caf regulations".
