The snake, which had positioned itself at the staircase, struck as she climbed down, leaving her in excruciating pain.

She disclosed that the aftermath was a nightmare, with the swelling refusing to subside despite local treatment in Lokoja.

Desperate for a solution, Ewim travelled to Oko, where an elderly man eventually treated her.

In her words:

"Seeing different post about snake just took me back to 2019. Oct/Nov 2019, I can’t remember the exact month. I was in my sisters house in Lokoja because she just had a baby and my mom came for Omugwo too. Just one night, around 8-8:30. We were about eating when we heard a knock at the gate, I came out to check who it was not knowing that this Monnster had already positioned itself at the stairs waiting. And just few steps down the stairs, it attacked immediately. The pains I went through during this period ehhh. I saw shege. Is there anything that chases them away? I think this is their season. I couldn’t sleep well for months after this because of fear. Omo!! We treated it locally in lokoja and it keeps swelling up, i had to travel down to Oko immediately. It was one old man that finally treated me."
