Snakes have chased Liberian
President, George Weah out of office.
A snake was found in Weah’s
office, forcing him to work from his private residence, according to the BBC.
The President’s Press Secretary,
Smith Toby told the BBC that on Wednesday two black snakes were found in the
foreign affairs ministry building, site of the official office.
All staff have been told to stay
away until 22 April.
“It’s just to make sure that
crawling and creeping things get fumigated from the building,” Mr Toby said.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
hosts the office of the president, so it did an internal memo asking the staff
to stay home while they do the fumigation,” he said.
“The snakes were never killed,”
Mr. Toby said, “There was a little hole somewhere [through which] they made
their way back.”
Police and presidential security
were seen guarding Weah’s residence in the capital, Monrovia. A fleet of
vehicles including escorts jeeps were parked outside.
Mr. Toby said the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs started to fumigate on Friday.
“That building’s been there for
years now, and [because of] the drainage system, the possibility of having
things like snakes crawling in that building was high,” he said.
The president is definitely
returning to his office on Monday after the fumigation whether or not the
snakes are found and killed, Mr. Toby said.
