DOL Blues: Man Assaulted For "Planting" Juju

An elderly man was subjected to severe beating when he was allegedly caught by fans of BA United, a Division One side based in thd Brong Ahafo region, attempting to plant some form of magic, known in local parlance as “juju” at the Coronation Park.

 

The thinking by the fans, was that, had he been successful, the juju would have aided fellow Division One side, Berekum Arsenals’ victory over BA United at the coronation park in a Division One League fixture.

 

According to sources, BA supporters who were sleeping at the stadium prior to the march, saw the man, a worker at the Coronation Park, popularly known as “Alibey” attempting to plant something on the field.

 

They subsequently apprehended and subjected him to severe beatings while interrogating him, during which it reportedly came to the fore that Alibey was sent by one Yakubu Moro to execute tgat job.

 

Sportscrusader enquires;

Does juju play any significant role in Ghana football?

Do the GPL teams also dabble in it?

How different is it from “ways and means”?
