ZURICH (Reuters) - Ghana football boss Kwesi Nyantakyi, a member of FIFA's decision-making Council, is under investigation for possible ethics violations and has been provisionally suspended for 90 days, the global soccer body said on Friday.

The ban was imposed one day after the Ghanaian government dissolved the country's football association (GFA) after officials, including Nyantakyi, were shown in a documentary allegedly taking kickbacks.
