A circulating video on social media has raised speculations about something potentially fetishistic tied around the waist of Ivorian goalkeeper Yahia Fofana during a match against the Super Eagles.

The black material, secured with a white rope, was noticeable while Fofana played against Nigeria. Some netizens speculated that it could be a form of voodoo (juju) influencing the outcome of the AFCON finals.

Here are some reactions:

– Keny David: “Make everybody carry him own JuJu for Body … The person way get the strongest JuJu wins”
