A Ghanaian woman who went viral after she was filmed burying her late husband with a live snake has revealed it was a gift from her husband to their daughter.

Netizens made these claims after she was spotted with the live python hanging around her neck as pallbearers got ready to carry the remains of her late husband to its final resting place.
In the video that went viral, a voiceover explaining why she performed the ritual had claimed the snake bit the tongue of her husband and he died as a result, indicating that she thought it fitting to bury him with what killed him.
However, the woman indicated that she buried the snake with her late husband because he was the person taking care of it before his demise and since he was no longer alive to do that, she decided to put the live snake inside his casket.
