He Claimed Prophecy… The Arrest Of A Charlatan Who Promised To Win The 2025 African Cup Of Nations In Exchange For Money
The Malian national team was eliminated from the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, after losing to Senegal by a single goal, thus destroying its dreams of winning the continental title for the first time in its history.
According to the British newspaper “The Sun”, Karamogo Senayuku received nearly 30,000 pounds from fans of the Mali national team, after he promised to use his spiritual powers to help the country achieve victory.
The sorcerer received huge sums of money before Mali’s match against Tunisia in the round of 16 of the tournament. In that decisive match, Mali overcame a goal deficit and played with 10 players to win on penalties, which convinced the fans of the veracity of the man’s claims.
🇲🇱 In Mali they arrested a famous witch called Karamogo Sinayoko and the reason is incredible: he managed to raise 30 thousand euros from people saying that he could do witchcraft so that Mali beats Senegal in the African Cup.

After the match, Senayuku confirmed that “all the people in the neighborhood came to my house to celebrate me, and people came from all over the city to see me.”
According to reports, Senayoko swore on the Qur’an to bring victory to Mali in the next round as well, but the “Eagles” team lost to Senegal by a single goal, and were eliminated from the tournament.

After the match, a crowd of about a hundred angry fans appeared to throw stones at the house of the prophecy claimer, which required the intervention of the police, who upon their arrival accused Senayuku of fraud and arrested him.
The man is allegedly being investigated by anti-cybercrime officers on charges of “quackery”, which is the practice of falsely pretending to have skills or abilities that a person does not possess in order to make money.
After his arrest, Senayoko stated: “Am I a god? I am not a god… When I did my duty and we defeated Tunisia, all the residents of the neighborhood came to my house to celebrate me. People came from all over the city to see me… And now, after our defeat against Senegal, I am being attacked and my property is being vandalized.”
He concluded by saying: “I performed my spiritual duty, but God did not accept it. I am not a god. I did my duty, and God chose otherwise.”
