Did Ghanaian native doctor, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, really cast a spiritual spell on English forward, Harry Kane? This is the question on everyone’s lips following the goalless draw between the Black Stars of Ghana and the Three Lions of England in their group game at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup competition.
Earlier, eelive.ng reported that the Ghanaian native doctor mentioned that he had cast a spell upon the English skipper, hence, he would be unable to secure a win for his country. Interestingly, Kane failed to find the back of the net despite entering the contest in red-hot form.
We must talk about the Ghanaian native doctor and see if he can inspire Ghana to its first World Cup title.
Who is Nana Kwaku Bonsam?
He is a controversial Ghanaian traditional priest and fetish priest from Afrancho in the Ashanti Region. His name, “Bonsam,” translates literally to “Devil” in the Akan language, a title given to him by a local chief. He operates the Kofi oo Kofi Shrine, practicing traditional African spiritualism.
Bonsam grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At age 19, he survived a severe gas explosion that left him with permanent physical scars. He states that this near-death experience completely transformed his life, driving his shift toward traditional spiritual practices.
