SNAKE IN THE BOYS HOSTEL

snake.jpg Trauma at the boys hostel, when a long green/yellow snake was found wandering about in an empty room, this room was recently vacated by the Former President of SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT, popularly called"JONATHAN" An eye witness of the saga during an interview explained how it happened"He said, it was around 8pm when he was coming in then he feels uneasy then decided to branch the room for a nylon, then suddenly he saw the crawling creature running about in the room, instantly he called the attention of some guys then when they got to the scene the snake made it's way inside a hole at the doorstep, so the hole was blocked with a stone to avoid it coming out before their arrival, they then decided to pour hot water in the hole to force it out, but after doing that it refused to come out so they decided to expand the hole, they did and started stabbing it with sticks before it eventually came out and was being hit by them, The snake was found two days after his vacation says a resident. An interview between our Correspondent and an hostelite names withheld, reveals that, "the snake might have been in the room for a couple of days, but due to the snake not hearing the footsteps or sound of humans in the room anymore, that's why it came out. Another person also residing in the hostel also added that "several cases concerning killing of snakes has always been reported in the female hostels also earlier before now which the school management has done their part by fumigating the environment for them but nevertheless the snakes keep appearing. Cases of no water and adequate toilet facilities was also a typical issue we are battling says a resident. we urge the School SUG and the management to help look into these situations.
