Bechem United captain Francis Twene has alleged that his prolonged absence from the Ghana Premier League is due to a spiritual attack orchestrated by some of his own teammates.
Twene, who was appointed team captain at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, made the claims in a recent interview, stating that his mysterious ailment was not a typical sports injury but rather a result of "juju" or black magic.

Francis Twene Bechem captainc issues
The skillful midfielder was expected to lead Bechem United into a new era after being handed the armband in September 2023.
However, his tenure as captain took a dark turn after just three rounds of the GPL.
The midfielder suddenly disappeared from the pitch, and although initial reports suggested an injury, no official statement was made about the nature of his condition.
According to the 24-year-old, who spoke to Fakye TV, trouble began shortly after he was named captain.
He disclosed that some of his teammates confronted him, questioning his appointment and warning him that they would not support his leadership.
“I was told directly by some of them that I didn’t deserve to be captain and they would do everything to bring me down, even if it means using spiritual means,” he said.
Francis Twene's spiritual warfare and diagnosis
Twene recounted how his physical condition began to deteriorate rapidly after those confrontations.
Despite seeking medical attention, he found no relief or explanation for his worsening health. It was then that he turned to spiritual help.
“I went to my spiritual father for help, and after several prayer sessions and spiritual diagnoses, he confirmed that what I was going through was not physical—it was a spiritual attack. He said it was juju, and it was from people close to me—specifically my teammates.”
Twene claims he underwent two weeks of spiritual healing at his church, and only after intense deliverance did he begin to feel better.
“It was a tough two weeks. I was weak, in pain, and confused. But I thank God I survived. It could have ended my career.”
