December 16, 2019, a disturbing video emerged online, showing a Nigerian pastor engaging in a bizarre ritual that has left many questioning his sanity and motives.
The pastor, in a bid to demonstrate his supposed 'divine connection,' asked his congregants to drink water he had 'bathed' in, a practice that has been widely condemned as reckless and exploitative.
According to eyewitnesses, the pastor emerged from a blue drum, where he had been 'bathing,' and proceeded to fetch water using a pink cup, which he then gave to a congregant to drink.
As the congregant meekly drank the water, the pastor and his followers sang a worship song, further highlighting the disturbing nature of the ritual.
Reactions to the video have been overwhelmingly negative, with many labeling the pastor as 'demonic' and his actions as 'absolute madness.'
As the video continues to circulate online, many are left wondering how such a practice can be condoned in a place of worship.
