Passengers of a commercial bus in Lagos panicked when the reptile was sighted
Commuters aboard a commercial bus in Lagos, on Wednesday, panicked and jumped off the vehicle when a snake was discovered inside the bus.
Eyewitnesses said the Nissan Civilian bus suddenly screeched to a stop in the middle of Apapa Road, and both driver and passengers evacuated the vehicle.
One of the bus passengers, who did not want her name published, said that she raised the alarm on sighting the snake which was aboard the bus heading for Okokomaiko, a Lagos suburb.
“I was sitting in the back and noticed something moving around my feet,” she said. “I checked to look at what it was and I saw it was a snake.”
The development drew passersby who attempted to kill the snake but only succeeded in chopping off its tail before the reptile slithered into an unreachable crevice inside the bus.
