Celebrated Kenyan football referee Aden Marwa has pulled out of the FIFA World Cup following a bribery expose by a Ghanaian journalist revealing that he received a bribe of Sh 60, 000 ($600).

He was set to serve during the World Cup in Russia alongside other 10 assistant referees from Africa.

Marwa is not new to the international scene as he officiated the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and Africa Cup of Nations 2012 in Equatorial Guinea.

In the expose published by BBC on Thursday, Marwa was approached by a Ghanaian journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, posing as a Ghanaian football official during the African National Championship.
