Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University in Katsina has employed the
services of snake charmers, following the death of a final year student of
Economics, Zainab Umar, last Monday after she was bitten by a snake three days
earlier.
Dean of
Students’ Affairs, Dr. Suleiman Kankara, confirmed the hiring of the snake
charmers, to rid the campus of snakes and reptiles.
“Yes, we have employed the services of snake charmers to assist us in ridding
the campus of snakes. Although the snake charmers just began work, plans had
been in the pipeline to hire them.
“We normally
hire the snake charmers whenever we get report of presence of snakes on the
campus. It is unfortunate that the lady died. We know we tried our best to
prevent her death,” Kankara explained.
He also claimed
the family of the deceased did not allow her complete her medication.
“Zainab was
bitten by a snake on Friday evening and she was promptly treated at our health
centre.
“I spoke with her mother on phone on Saturday that she should be allowed to
continue her treatment.
“I later
checked the clinic on Saturday evening only to learn that her friends and her
brother had taken her away from the clinic against medical advice.
“They did not
sign any document to secure her release. We later learnt of her death on Monday
morning. May her soul rest in peace,” Kankara added.
