A town in Edo state called igarra have a festival which is celebrated every seven year to celebrate the victory of children of devil over the people in the locality.
They believe that when satan came over the earth he came as chimpanze and impregnated a woman going to farm when the child was born the child was a female she was born with demonic powers and was able to posses people of the locality.
The drum was first beaten when satan took over the community
The festival is called Aba festival
The town is surrounded with rocks which are worship by some part of the community
Example of those rock are
Idahkoriko
Ori
Aba scared centre etc
That was how witchcraft started
The belief of the family who owns the drum is that satan came here on earth to concour the world
The festival is always celebrated in August and the day satan usually visit his children here on earth
The festival will be celebrated this year
Last was 2017

That was where demons on earth started and the belief is that when satan was coming down to earth he brought a drum which is only beaten by a particular family which are the real family of demons on earth
Make una stop this ignorance abeg OP. undecided

These people's traditions has nothing to do with devil or Satan mentioned in scriptures. Why demonize their believes because of this ignorance? undecided

Allow them enjoy their festival abeg while you Waka pass if you cannot see that you belittle their beliefs and insult them when you attempt to associate what is theirs with that which instead belongs to others.. undecided

It's culture and culture is a beautiful thing as long as it doesn't involve human killings and sacrifices. Culture is what makes us unique amd should be respected.
