Residents of Chiraa in the Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region are living in fear, with some fleeing the community, as a strange Crocodile has invaded their cemetery.

After the Thursday, September 16, 2021 incident, some of the residents are suspecting that the river gods are angry.

The entire Chiraa community was thrown into a state of shock when residents sighted the huge crocodile roaming around the tombs of a late renowned rich man and his two daughters.

In an interview with Adom News, the residents who expressed worry about the incident explained that they are scared to go out of their homes for fear of being attacked by the reptile.

“This is the first time we are seeing strange things like this and we believe the crocodile might have come from a nearby river,” a resident said.

Another added that “those who are not afraid have been able to get closer while others threatened to kill the animal but they are afraid the crocodile was sent by a ritualist.”

Meanwhile, the Chiraa Traditional Council, led by Chiraahene, Barimah Minta Afari poured libation to appeal to the ancestors to forgive the community if they have done something wrong against the stream.

After the libation and other rituals, the crocodile went back into the bush.
