PHOTO: Farmer Kills 15-Foot-Long Snake In Ado-Ekiti

A 23-year old farmer in Ado-Ekiti, Bayo Ibrahim,
killed an amazing 15-foot snake close to the Ado-
Afao-Ekiti road.
As it was gathered, the snake had been killing
domestic animals, including dogs, sheep, goats
and chickens.
The size of the snake attracted spectators from
as far as Odo-Ado, Oke-Ila, Basiri, Nova Road and
GRA in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, to the
sparsely-populated Afao road, turning it into a
Mecca of sorts.
The witnesses said they had never seen anything
of that kind before. They called the creature "the
wonder of the year in Ekiti."
The young farmer Ibrahim, is a cattle rearer. He
saw 3 snakes in a bush and killed then with his
cutlass. Then he sold all the snakes, N10,000
each.
He added that such snakes killed pets but didn't
touch people. According to him, they roll round
their prey and suffocate it, until it dies.
"If you want to kill them, aim for the head and do
not miss it, because if you do, it can be fatal."
Many spectators were really shocked to see such
a long and thick snake. Ajayi Adekunle said:
"You can see how big it is. Even a car cannot kill
it. I urge people living in this area to be careful, as
more of this snake may still be around here."
