At Ghana's 66th Independence Day celebration in Ho on March 6, 2023, the rich "voodoo" tradition of the Volta people was on display.

The crocodile that greeted President Akufo-Addo at the parade materialized out of thin air.

The crocodile, in accordance with regional tradition, was a component of the Zagbetor, a revolving raffia.

Without using its feet, the raffia-made Zagbetor could rotate and move from one location to another. Its feet were totally undetectable.

This was to showcase the magical and spiritual efficacy of the deity in the area and how they possess supernatural powers to move about without legs.

At the parade, the Zagbetor was rotating and putting up gymnastics when a crocodile dropped from nowhere, moved straight to President Akufo-Addo, and prostrated in obedience to a higher authority.

The scene caught the attention of many, considering how the crocodile was able to obey human direction and carry out the task without any fault; it was under the influence of supernatural power.

Many believe the people of the Volta region hold their culture in high regard, and at the parade, they graciously displayed it with pomp and pageantry.
