Kenya Police FC’s Board of Trustees member, Bishop Fred Akama, has dropped a bombshell that would make even the most hardened skeptics raise an eyebrow. In a revelation that reads like a horror movie script, the Bishop in an exclusive interview with Nation Sport, claims a rival FKF Premier League team attempted to smuggle a coffin, into the Police Sacco Stadium, presumably to unleash a wave of supernatural terror upon the law enforcement side.
Now, while the FKF Premier League has long been whispered to be a breeding ground for the use of black magic, whispers are all they’ve been. Concrete evidence? Fuggedaboutit. But Bishop Akama, a man who clearly doesn’t believe in playing it safe (or discreetly), has now thrown a proverbial coffin lid on the matter.
Imagine the scene: Midnight. The stadium bathed in the eerie glow of the moon. Security guards, perhaps sipping some strong Kenyan tea, suddenly encounter a group attempting to sneak in a coffin. The Audacity! Did it contain a disgruntled rival player? A voodoo doll of the opposing goalkeeper? Or perhaps just a very, very determined case of “resting match day face”?
Undeterred by this initial setback, the ritualists or whatever they are called, according to the Bishop, returned with a vengeance. “They came with their ‘priests’ and sprinkled water around the stadium,” Akama revealed. Water, you see, is a crucial element in many rituals. It’s a conductor, a vessel for unseen forces. Imagine the scene: the pitch, now a glistening canvas of… something.
Bishop Akama, a PhD holder in divine matters no less, sensing a disturbance in the Force (or at least a disturbance in the peace), felt compelled to intervene. “I hadn’t planned to attend the match that day,” he confessed, “but I received a call from our executive chairman, Munga Nyale, asking me to come and pray at the stadium because tensions were growing.”
And pray he did. While the opposing team engaged in their own brand of pre-match preparation – placing cones and balls in strategic locations and sprinkling water on goalposts, match balls, and cones (a move that would have made Babu wa Loliondo spin in his grave) – the Police FC camp turned to a higher power.
And lo and behold, divine intervention prevailed. Kenya Police FC emerged victorious, trouncing their rivals 3-0. “During the match,” the Bishop recounted, “one of their officials kept saying their ‘science’ wasn’t working. They were frustrated, saying, ‘today, science isn’t working for us.'”
Science, of course, has no room for the supernatural. But in the realm of Kenyan football, where the lines between the physical and the metaphysical often blur, perhaps “science” simply wasn’t enough.
Now, proving the existence of this “science” is a tricky proposition. It’s not something you can easily quantify on a lab report. You can’t exactly run an A/B test on black magic. It’s a matter of faith, a belief in the unseen. And in the case of Kenya Police FC, it seems their faith was rewarded.
