Some officers who spoke to Leadership Sunday said non-native” pythons seemed to have established a breeding population at the office premises.
On March 29, 2022, the command authorities employed the services of some snake charmers who captured nine snakes after about three hours.
An officer said; “Huge snakes, some up to 20 feet long or more, with telephone-pole-sized girths, have been parading the area.
“As I speak to you, we are now afraid of night duty. The March 29 incident was not an isolated case, as snakes have become regular guests at the FCT command.”
