A group of Nigerian lawmakers hurriedly left a courtroom after a snake suddenly dropped from the ceiling.
The unusual incident happened in the Nigerian town of Akure, in the country’s southwest.
It is understood that the snake slithered out of the room unharmed.
A large number of buildings in Nigeria are said to be in a decrepit state, after years of poor maintenance. The Nigerian President’s Office in the capital city of Abuja had to be evacuated recently after being overrun by rodents, for example.
