In the video that gone viral up on Tuesday, April 4, a woman is seen chanting incantations to invoke the crocodile, thought to be a deity, on the bank of a stream.
The presumed deity is thought to have grown furious with the community members for an undetermined taboo and has consequently decided to punish them by taking over their source of water.
The beast was guarding the banks of the stream with much aggression.
However, After minutes of a fervent plea, the crocodile is seen retreating slowly into the depths of the stream.
Flanked by the bewildered residents, the ritualist throws a live fowl towards the crocodile, which grabs it mid-air as it submerges under the water.
After this, the animal walks further back into the stream.
Amid thunderous cheers, a member of the traditional entourage steps into the stream to fetch some water, symbolizing that it is now safe to do so.
