Senator shares warning on household hazards

Senator Shehu Sani took to X.com to highlight lessons from the tragedy. He revealed insights from a local snake charmer in Zaria about common household factors that attract snakes.

“A snake charmer recently told me that nothing attracts snakes to our homes like littered eggshells and rats.

“Some of the battles going on inside our ceilings or POP are between the snakes and the rats. May her gentle soul rest in peace," the senator tweeted.

He emphasised that proper hygiene and pest control are crucial in preventing snake encounters, noting that snakes often enter homes in search of prey such as rats.

Charmer explains the behaviour of snakes

According to the snake charmer, snakes are drawn to areas where food and shelter are abundant. Eggshells, leftover food, and clutter can make homes appealing to snakes, while rats in ceilings and attics often trigger snakes to enter in search of a meal.

Fans and fellow artists have flooded social media with tributes, remembering her talent, energy, and impact on Nigeria’s gospel and music scene.

Senator Sani’s message serves as a cautionary reminder for households across Nigeria to maintain cleanliness, manage pests, and be vigilant about potential snake entry points to prevent further tragedies.
