Former Black Stars goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda, has unequivocally refuted allegations surrounding his involvement in the use of black magic, commonly referred to as juju, in football.
Particularly, he dismissed accusations that he employed spiritual means to secure the position of his former teammate, Adam Kwarasey, during and after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
In an exclusive interview with Joy News, Dauda addressed the longstanding rumors, asserting that such claims are baseless and unfounded. He categorically denied using juju against Kwarasey or any other player, emphasizing his belief in the power of hard work and dedication to the sport.
Dauda, known for his prowess as a goalkeeper, expressed his reliance on prayer for protection and avoiding injuries, rather than resorting to supernatural methods. He stated, “You know something, if you are strong in prayers and people are trying to get you, they’ll tell you that you’re a devil.”
The goalkeeper passionately reiterated that he would never turn to juju for success, underlining his commitment to a disciplined approach to the game. He emphasized the importance of training and learning the fundamentals to achieve optimal performance, debunking the notion that relying on spiritual practices could guarantee success on the field.
“I can never pray to God to let me perform. If I sit down and I don’t train, how do I perform? You need to train, you need to learn the basics and go and perform,” explained Dauda, highlighting the fundamental role of preparation and skill development in a footballer’s success.
This interview serves as a robust defense by Fatau Dauda against the lingering allegations that have shadowed his career. His commitment to transparency, hard work, and a reliance on prayer aligns with a narrative of dedication to his craft, dispelling the rumors surrounding supernatural interventions in his professional journey.
