The Court Works With Evidence; How Do We Prove Spiritual Acts
Rashid Sumaila has been accused by mallam Issaka Salia for been responsible for the career threatening injury that hit fellow Black stars defender, Jerry Akaminko in a dress rehearsal friendly against the Netherlands in Amsterdam before the team departed for the FIFA world cup in Brazil, 2014.
According to the spiritualist, the former Kotoko defender, Sumaila visited the shrine to seek spiritual help as the final squad of 23 who will fly the flag of Ghana high was to be released by then head coach, Kwesi Appiah. In his revelation, mallam Salia said an injury meant for Rashid Sumaila will be diverted towards Jerry Akaminko who was favourite to make the squad unlike Rashid.
But the former South African based defender has been quick to rubbish those claims stating the mallam is looking for cheap fame as none of his allegations conforms with his Islamic faith.
Lawyer Ishmael Boakye who doubles as Kumasi Asante Kotoko board secretary has spoken on what some Ghanaians claim is enough evidence to warrant the arrest of both mallam Salia and Rashid Sumaila for perpetrating such evil against a fellow human being.
“Here in Ghana the court does not sit on spiritual cases. With Jerry-Rashid’s allegation currently making the waves in Ghana no one can prosecute the mallam as what he did cannot be proven as it is a spiritual matter. Since no one was present when he (the mallam) was working out Akaminko’s injury he can’t be prosecuted, if the mallam had been caught inflicting the player physically on the said player, then he could be prosecuted,” he told Kumasi based, Bos fm.
“In Kenya or somewhere in Africa there’s a court that sits on spiritual cases and maybe if it had happened there would have been able to prosecute the mallam and the player who visited for the assistance,” he added.
Jerry Akaminko has be silent on the issue since the revelation broke out.
