The man from the city has not harvested some fishes in the village stream. Villagers gather to fight on behalf of the “god” who “owns” the fishes. The man makes a case that the god should be allowed to defend itself.
Most times, there is no god and killing those fishes will cause no spiritual harm. But look deeper, all the streams which have this rule in all African villages are shallow and small which means one thing: if you allow fishing in them, the waters would be polluted or disturbed, making them unfit for drinking and cooking. So, the ancestors put those tales to scare people!
Lesson: in this life, it is not everything that you must prove!
