Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University in
Katsina has employed the services of snake charmers, following the death of a
final year student of Economics, Zainab Umar, last Monday after she was bitten
by a snake three days earlier.
Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr.
Suleiman Kankara, confirmed the hiring of the snake charmers, to rid the campus
of snakes and reptiles.
“Yes, we have employed the
services of snake charmers to assist us in ridding the campus of snakes.
Although the snake charmers just began work, plans had been in the pipeline to
hire them.
“We normally hire the snake
charmers whenever we get report of presence of snakes on the campus. It is
unfortunate that the lady died. We know we tried our best to prevent her
death,” Kankara explained.
He also claimed the family of the
deceased did not allow her complete her medication.
“Zainab was bitten by a snake on
Friday evening and she was promptly treated at our health centre.
“I spoke with her mother on phone
on Saturday that she should be allowed to continue her treatment.
“I later checked the clinic on
Saturday evening only to learn that her friends and her brother had taken her
away from the clinic against medical advice.
“They did not sign any document
to secure her release. We later learnt of her death on Monday morning. May her
soul rest in peace,” Kankara added.

were there syringes and needles to complete her treatment? We may not know the truth until Mrs Aisha Buhari has need to be treated in that hospital. David
