A profound apprehension has gripped personnel of the FCT Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at Wuse Zone 5 after the recent discovery of many snakes at the office premises.
The discovery was triggered by a snake attack on a worker who was installing a telecommunication equipment and decided to use a toilet at the premises.

He was bitten twice on his manhood by the snake and rushed to a hospital, but was later withdrawn to receive traditional medicine which his family preferred.

Some officers who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity said “non-native” pythons seemed to have established a breeding population at the office premises.

On March 29, 2022, the command’s authorities sought the help of some snake charmers who captured nine snakes after a three-hour search.
