Wife of embattled former Ghana Football Association boss, Christine-Marie Nyantakyi says she suspects her husband was under some kind of spell to act the way he did in the investigative video by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Mrs. Nyantakyi spoke for the first time on Metro TV after the documentary that caught her husband, Kwesi Nyantakyi taking bribe was aired.

She revealed that even though she hasn’t gathered the courage to watch the full video, the snippet she had seen tells her, her husband was under some kind of a spell.


Asked what she believed might have gone wrong with him, she said; “I don’t know what they did to him. My husband is a very skeptical person; I don’t know what they did to him to follow them like that. You don’t just get him to follow you like that.”

When the host asked if he could have been under a spell or some incantations, she responded in the affirmative.

Mr. Nyantakyi has been banned from all football activities for the rest of his life, and has been fined 500,000 Swiss Francs (equivalent of Ghc2,414,276.46 and $497,490.00 respectively), for various breaches of FIFA’s code of ethics after the exposé.
