He said he was so alarmed by his friend's report of a snake that he had to contact professional fumigators to inspect the apartment.
During the fumigation exercise, Nworah said the large snake suddenly appeared from one of the toilets, an incident captured in the video he shared online.

He said:
"It turned out that the house was connected to Abuja’s central sewage system, making it easy for reptiles to slither into the apartment through the drainage pipes."
Drawing from this experience, Nworah suggested that the snake that bit Ifunanya may have entered her home in a similar way, especially as reports indicated that she lived on the ground floor. He described this as a personal theory based on what he witnessed firsthand.
Sharing the solution he made, he said:
"I subsequently engaged the services of a plumber to install non-return valve devices on all the toilets. These valves allow waste to flow out but automatically clamp shut, preventing anything from coming back in."
