"Happening Now: Pastor Feeds His Church Members with Millipedes and Live Snakes as Holy Communion this evening (Photos)"

In a shocking twist that’s sending waves across the country, an evening communion service at a local church has sparked national outrage and confusion. Eyewitnesses at the controversial church in the outskirts of Anambra State were left speechless after the presiding pastor unveiled what he called “the new covenant meal”—a plate full of live millipedes and snakes, served as Holy Communion.

Photos taken by stunned attendees show the pastor in a white robe, holding up a writhing snake and declaring it to be a “symbol of divine power and spiritual immunity.” His congregation—some reluctant, others seemingly entranced—proceeded to consume the creatures amid chants, prayers, and frenzied singing.

The pastor, identified only as Prophet Z, claims the unusual elements were revealed to him during a 21-day fasting and prayer retreat in the mountains. According to him, “The traditional bread and wine are for weak faith. My flock shall eat from the table of divine creatures—they shall not fall sick, nor die, but live.”

As this bizarre ritual unfolded, concerned voices began to rise from within and beyond the congregation. One churchgoer who declined to partake said, “I came here for salvation, not fear factor. Even though I’m still trying to understand, I couldn’t bring myself to touch a snake in God’s name.”

Local authorities have since launched an investigation, and health experts are warning of the potential dangers linked to consuming venomous or disease-carrying animals raw.

This incident raises deep questions about spiritual manipulation, desperation, and the extremes people may endure in search of miracles. For young Nigerians especially—like those still in transitional phases of life—it’s a startling reminder to question what we’re being fed, physically and spiritually.
