In a shocking turn of events, a pastor abandoned a man he was baptizing in a river after a crocodile appeared, causing chaos and fear among those present.

The unthinkable occurred just as the pastor was preparing to baptize a man in the river, causing people to doubt his faith.

As seen in the post below, there was a group of people standing by the river when one of them yelled, “There is an alligator in there,” to which the pastor did not hesitate but dropped that man into the water and ran out of her water as quickly as he could, leaving the man he was supposed to be baptizing inside the water with the intention of helping himself first.

Fortunately, the man managed to escape the water without injury.

The viral video has attracted mixed reactions on social media as some described what the pastor did as selfish.
