Juju and Witchcraft are Everywhere, Even in the UK – Esther Smith Reveals Encounters

Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician Esther Smith, known for her multiple awards and a decade-long hiatus from the music scene, has made a striking comeback with revelations that have shocked many. In a recent interview on GTV’s ‘Spectacle’ with Hagar Owusu, Smith shared her unsettling experiences with witchcraft and black magic, even in the United Kingdom—a concept that remains pervasive in the Ghanaian arts and entertainment industry.

Esther recounted a startling event from her life in the UK, describing a morning when she discovered “two bones tied with a red cloth” placed at her doorstep. This unsettling occurrence, she explained, underscores that witchcraft and ‘juju’ transcend physical boundaries and can follow one anywhere, regardless of location. This terrifying incident prompted Smith to fortify her spiritual life and ministry.

She also recounted a disturbing experience during a scheduled performance in Columbus, Ohio, where the church’s Head Pastor fell ill unexpectedly. It was later revealed that the church had been encircled by crates of eggs—an emblematic sign of ‘juju.’ 

Reflecting on these harrowing incidents, Esther expressed profound gratitude for divine protection, humorously remarking that “the witches outside Africa are even more powerful and numerous than those back home.” She concluded her interview with a message of faith, urging everyone to seek God earnestly, emphasizing that there is no greater protection than that provided by the ‘Omnipotent One’.
