According to eyewitness, the incident happened during an intense midnight prayer session attended by dozens of worshippers. In videos shared online, members could be seen shouting prayers passionately while striking the ground with long canes, believing the action symbolized defeating spiritual forces working against their progress.
The atmosphere at the gathering appeared highly emotional as participants moved around the prayer arena chanting aggressively and declaring victory over what they called “household enemies” and evil attacks. Some worshippers reportedly claimed they were instructed by their spiritual leader to carry out the act as a prophetic exercise meant to break spiritual chains and destroy obstacles affecting their lives.
Several residents living close to the prayer ground said the loud prayers and repeated sounds of canes hitting the floor attracted attention late into the night. While some people described the gathering as a powerful display of faith, others expressed surprise at the unusual method used during the prayer session.
One observer who spoke anonymously said the members appeared fully convinced that they were fighting spiritual battles physically. According to the witness, many participants prayed with intense seriousness and confidence throughout the exercise.
Religious practices involving symbolic actions are not entirely new in many African communities, especially within some prayer ministries where physical demonstrations are often used to represent spiritual warfare. Such activities may include marching, shouting, blowing trumpets, or striking objects during prayers.
However, the viral video has generated mixed reactions on social media. While supporters defended the worshippers and insisted that spiritual exercises should not be mocked, critics questioned whether such dramatic actions truly reflect biblical teachings. Watch full video here…

The incident continues to spark conversations online about faith practices, spiritual warfare, and the different ways religious groups express their beliefs during intense prayer sessions.
