Pandemonium as snake appears to magistrate in Lagos court

Some scary news here! A magistrate and court officials at  Ejigbo Magistrates’ court Lagos yesterday were shocked beyond wits after a mysterious snake appeared at the chambers shortly before court session began.
This actually happened on the first day the new Magistrate, Mr Akeem A. Fashola officially resumed work after his recent transfer by the Lagos Judiciary, Lagos State.

According to PM news, “few minutes after Fashola resumed and sat in the chamber, a green snake appeared from nowhere in the chamber which forced both the Magistrate and court officials to flee.

The prosecutor, Femi Adeleye, and security men attached to the court searched for the snake and eventually killed it before normalcy could be restored.
How the snake gained entrance into the court chamber was a mystery to the court officials because the former Magistrate, Mr Peter Nwaka, who was transferred to Apapa court had moved out his personal belongings from the chamber without any incident.”

Santiago Lopez Menendez has revealed how global soccer star and fellow country man Lionel Messi ‘saved’ him from kidnappers in Nigeria.
Menendez an engineer was captured while helping local farmers plant soya and corn in an agricultural project in Kontagora, Niger State, Nigeria on the 24th of June. He was tortured for 3 days, denied food, water, rest and beaten badly.
Along the line he figured out that his captors who spoke little English  thought he was an American. To bail himself out of the situation, he said he repeatedly chanted Messi and that was the magic. The beatings stopped. His employers, Four Mills later came to his rescue.
Now back to his country, Menendez told Clarin newspaper through his brother. ‘Thank you Messi, mentioning your name saved my life.’
