Juju is Everywhere; I Experienced It Myself in the UK – Esther Smith Discloses
Renowned Ghanaian Gospel musician Esther Smith has candidly discussed her personal encounters with witchcraft and black magic, commonly known as ‘juju,’ during her time in the United Kingdom—a phenomenon that she says continues to affect the Ghanaian arts and entertainment sector.
In an astonishing revelation, Esther shared an incident from her life in the UK where she discovered “two bones tied with a red cloth” at her doorstep one morning. This discovery served as a stark reminder that witchcraft, or ‘juju,’ transcends physical boundaries, challenging the common belief that such practices are confined to Africa.
This alarming experience marked a significant wake-up call for the ‘Ma Wosan’ hitmaker, prompting her to engage in a spiritual battle to protect her life and ministry. She shared these experiences during a recent interview with Hagar Owusu on GTV’s ‘Spectacle.’
The award-winning artist also recounted another disturbing episode that occurred while she was set to perform in Columbus, Ohio. On the day of the event, the church’s Head Pastor unexpectedly fell ill, and it was later revealed that the church had been encircled by crates of eggs—a classic indicator of ‘juju.’
Reflecting on these experiences, Esther Smith expressed her deep appreciation for God’s unwavering protection, humorously remarking that “the witches outside Africa are even more powerful and numerous than those back home.”
She concluded with a piece of advice, urging individuals to earnestly seek God in all matters, as there is no greater source of protection than that which comes from the ‘Omnipotent One.’
