A self-proclaimed marabout in Senegal Kounkande has announced he will split the Soumbedioune river in August.
Kounkande has been making headlines in Senegal after his bold announcement. He said he was out to teach his fellow marabouts in Senegal a lesson that he is no match of theirs.
He told one local media: “What Prophet Musa was able to do, I can also do it. I will take all of you to the Soumbedioune river and tear it into two.
“There are people doubting it. But I will go with all of you and I will split the river and walk across. I know the invocation Prophet Musa recited and caused the sea to split. I have the secret.”
The self-proclaimed holy man said he will make seven land bridges out of the Soumbedioune river in August on the 10th day Muharram otherwise called Yawmul Ashura. He said his enemies will drown in the river on that day.
