Three bar waiters became dumb recently after a witchdoctor from Tanzania conducted a ritual against them over allegations of theft.
The incident occurred at a bar and night club in Machakos town when the proprietor hired a witch doctor to compel those who had stolen his money to return it.
Earlier, the proprietor pleaded with all the waiters to disclose the one who had taken the money from the safe, in vain.
He later reportedly hired the witch doctor from Tanzania, who conducted the ritual in the presence of all the workers resulting in the capture of the three culprits.
The three started showing unusual signs after a few moments before they started eating soil and were unable to speak.
The bar proprietor was forced to inform the police about the incident who later came and took away the three waiters as their colleagues remained mouth wide open in panic.
At the police station, the three could not speak after they were asked to record statements.
Confirming the incident, Machakos OCPD Richard Kerich said the three men who are being held at the Machakos police station are still unable to speak.
