An 18- year- old boy of Masaiti District in Senior Chief Chiwala’s area on the Copperbelt has uprooted his father’s sea snake locally known as ‘ilomba’.
According to Sun FM Zambia, Evaristo Musonda Jnr narrated that for some months, he used to see a creature that looked like a snake but had the head portraying that of his father.
Musonda said the sea snake was licking his body with intention to swallow him but failed.
Musonda added that upon being troubled, he told his mother and the village headman about the situation.
He then decided to search for it and found it in his father’s bar where the creature was found with a rat in its mouth.
Musonda said the sea snake was big and alive, but after touching it and it noticing the presence of people, it shrunk in size.
The two men, Evaristo and Gilbert Musonda who have been suspected of practicing witchcraft were later taken to Senior Chief Chiwala’s Palace.
A check by Sun FM media crew found the villagers in utter disbelief of what had happened.
