According to the widely circulated claim, the spiritualist said he had carried out rituals intended to prevent Kane from scoring or playing effectively against Ghana.

After the game, he claimed to have lifted a spiritual "tie" he allegedly placed on England captain Harry Kane, following Ghana's goalless draw against England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
