Wonder Snake eats millions in cash

News making the rounds currently in Nigeria is that a mysterious snake ate about ₦36 million (about $100,000), I kid you not. This was discovered upon investigation into a government body which had developed a habit of not remitting revenue generated from their operations. An official of the body (JAMB) narrated how a mysterious snake would come at night and break into the vault where the cash is stashed. This, according to the official, was the sole reason why the body had failed to remit revenue to the government.
Nigeria is a country plagued by corruption in every tier with the current government taking the fight against corruption its main agenda. So many have been put on trial on corruption charges with some trying every gimmick possible to avoid prosecution (just last week an accused came to the court on a stretcher in an attempt to hinder court proceedings :)), but never has a story like this hit the news. I do hope the authorities find the snake and bring it to book (they have arrested a goat before for suspected armed robbery).
