Oh my! Huge Python killed at Opebi, Ikeja (photos)

How can a snake this huge be seen around Opebi, Ikeja when it's not Ikorodu or Badagry? That's scary! The Python was killed by two men in a bush around the area today...and when they brought it out, people gathered to take a look. More photos after the cut (and my apologies to those who will find this disturbing)

    2. Linda haba now, tho I don't live in ikd or badagry, its absolutely insensitive, puerile and infantile for u to make such reference and annotation to that region, its highly insulting,discourteous and ill-mannered especially coming from a revered person like u! You're being derisive, because u stay in V.I or Lekki doesn't mean u should scorn and make a mockery of the region and its residents.Really dissapointed

  11. I'm surprised I didn't see people with knives and machetes waiting to hack it to pieces. Since that's what most lagosians are fond of doing to whales and other large creatures like this.

  19. The oil from Python is medicinal and very expensive. They shouldn't just throw it away o. Why them kill am sef? Couldn't they just catch it alive? Kai, Africa!!!!

  20. Its offensive to say animals like this are only found in Ikorodu or badagry. Do you infer that residents of the area simply live in the jungle or weird areas? I beg you decipher the proper word to use in depicting things in your stories. Thanks.

    (For those who feel I reside in Ikorodu, dont waste your strength typing, you are making a mistake)
