Otoo is the current top scorer in the Glo Premier League with 17 goals, while Mohammed is credited with 11 goals and was instrumental in the impressive performance of the Tema-based side. 

Akuffo has also played  a key role in the performance of Kotoko in the Glo Premier League and the MTN FA Cup.           

SWAG Awards will come off on June 29, at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Accra to confer honours on distinguished sportsmen and women.
