The Umuoji community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State have allegedly beaten up a man of God, Reverend Jude Chibueze, and sealed off his church for killing a snake. Chibueze, according to news portal, www.informationng.com, said the snake stormed his house at night when members of his family were already sleeping. He said he heard his children screaming and rushed there to find a snake lying where his children had been sleeping. Chibueze said he killed the snake and threw its remains in a nearby bush, but was surprised when some members of the community stormed his house, alleging that he had desecrated the land by killing the snake, which is regarded as their god. The reverend said he was beaten up mercilessly, and given a list of items amounting to N54,890 which the community members said he should buy to appease their god.
