Bishop Kwabena Asiamah, leader of the Ajagurajah Movement, has performed a ritual in his church that has left many people bewildered on social media.

In a video circulating online, the man of God, popularly known as Bishop Ajagurajah, is seen pouring water from a gold-coloured kettle over himself.

As he pours the water on himself, congregants of the Ajagurajah Movement scramble around him, trying desperately to touch his wet robe.

The congregants, made up of young men and women, continue in the struggle as Bishop Asiamah walks around the church in his soaked, long white robe.
