Residents of Kwaso and surrounding farming Communities in the
Ejisu Juaben Municipal Assembly of the Ashanti Region are living fear
following the invasion of snakes in some communities after a heavy
downpour on Tuesday March 15, 2016.
Reports
received by ultimate1069.com, reveal that about 300 of such black
serpents have so far been killed by residents some of whom have
abandoned the area and seeking shelter in neighbouring communities.
According
to some residents who spoke to ultimate1069.com, Kwaaso, Esienimpong,
Deduako Onyina, and Korase are the communities invaded by the serpents.
They
disclosed that the snakes of various species, including cobras, vipers,
royal pythons, and mambas, could be found in the streets, homes,
churches, and gutters of the affected communities, striking terror in
residents.
They indicate that the situation has
traumatized the residents who now walk on the streets armed with clubs
and machetes to crush snakes on sight, while employing torches and
lanterns to light their paths at night to avert snake bites.
Patrick Frimpong, assemblyman of the area, corroborated the account of residents
There
have been no reports of snake bites in the communities so far but some
believe the incident has some spiritual connotations.
