Ghanaian Mystic Claims He Cast a Spell on Harry Kane Before England Match

Translated & summarized from N12 by baba
The story · English

A Ghanaian spiritualist, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, says he has cast a spell on England captain Harry Kane ahead of the teams’ World Cup meeting. In an interview with the Daily Star, Bonsam said, “I am working on Kane this time,” adding that he knows “what I have to do to stop him” and is using his reputation for predictions to help Ghana.

Bonsam said he does not want Kane to suffer a serious injury, only enough of a problem to keep him from playing against Ghana. “I will do my work so that it can help Ghana,” he said.

He also claimed, as he has in the past, that he caused Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury before the 2014 World Cup, which he says led to a poor tournament for Portugal and eventual elimination in the group stage. Ghana were also knocked out in the same phase.

Bonsam argued that the injury he caused cannot be treated by doctors because it is spiritual. “Today it is his knee, tomorrow it is his thigh, and the next day it will be something else,” he said.
