The men said they took the said snake from a ritualist. The three men added that they took the snake from the ritual at the very spot where they dropped it.
Their issue was that the ritualist told them that they should feed the snake and after 30 days, the snake will be begin producing money for them.
The snake was to be feed with eggs among other things and the young men kept their side of the bargain till the snake could not deliver.
