Ghana Traditional Healer Who Claimed Influence on Cristiano Ronaldo Now Targets Harry Kane
A prominent Ghanaian traditional healer has made a bold claim, stating he will use his spiritual powers to prevent England captain Harry Kane from being a threat when the two nations meet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars, under the guidance of former Bafana Bafana manager Carlos Queiroz, began their tournament campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Panama.
A positive result against England would greatly enhance their chances of advancing to the knockout stages. However, one supporter is confident he can influence the match's outcome from afar.
Ghana Traditional Healer Plans to Stop Harry Kane
Shaman Nana Kwaku Bonsam, also known as the 'Devil of Wednesday', has pledged to ensure Kane, England's star striker, is ineffective against Ghana.
Kane is considered England's most important player and one of the world's top forwards. As the team's captain and primary goalscorer, he is the focal point of their attack, making him a critical player for the Ghanaian defence to manage.
Bonsam clarified that his intention is not to cause a serious injury but to spiritually "blunt" Kane's performance and keep him off the scoresheet.
"I am working on Harry Kane," Bonsam confidently told the Daily Star as quoted by Kick Off. "I have shown what I am capable of before, so I know what work I must do to stop him. I am very famous for my predictions."
"I am not wishing him serious injury," he added. "It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana."
This is not the first time Bonsam has made such assertions. Before Ghana's match against Portugal at the 2014 World Cup, he famously claimed responsibility for a knee injury that nearly sidelined Cristiano Ronaldo from the game.
