A 26-year-0ld woman identified as Rutendo Nhemachena has reportedly during water baptism in Zimbabwe and has been reported to be grabbed by a mermaid.
Rutendo Nhemachena was reported to have been possessed by a mermaid spirit before becoming violent and jumping into the river.
Zimbabwean prophet, Isaac Manyemba was said to be cleansing men and women when the incident occurred at Manyame river in Zimbabwe.
The allegedly possessed woman was believed by people to be grabbed by a mermaid and didn’t try to rescue her. According to the prophet, the woman overpowered him and seemed like she was possessed by a mermaid spirit.
Prophet Isaac Manyemba reported the case, ”The two convinced me and I led them to the river where we attended to a number of men and women when Nhemachena suddenly came into the river possessed.
”She pushed all of us and we failed to handle her before she immersed me and disappeared into the water. We were comforted by one woman who claimed that her child was once taken by a mermaid when he was seven years old and returned from water at the age of 14′‘
However, the 26-year-old woman’s family did not believe the claims by the prophet and insisted she would not be buried until a post-mortem had been carried out.
