The ceremony was understood to be aimed at protecting key players, including Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz, from any curses allegedly directed at the Colombian squad by Kwaku Bonsam.
Bonsam's curse claims drew global attention
Nana Kwaku Bonsam has found instant fame in the wake of his utterances about Ghana's matches and opponents.
It all started with a series of public statements made by Nana Kwaku Bonsam ahead of Ghana's Group L fixture against England.
The spiritualist announced that he had targeted Three Lions captain Harry Kane, declaring his intention to prevent the Bayern Munich striker from scoring rather than wishing him physical harm.
"I am working on Harry Kane. I have shown what I am capable of before so I know what work I must do to stop him.I am not wishing him serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana," Bonsam stated.
His claims attracted widespread international coverage. Bonsam subsequently announced that he had lifted the curse, a development he appeared to link to Harry Kane finding the net in matches against Panama and DR Congo.
