Cool FM OAP N6 has made an unsettling revelation. He said the Island Taipan snake which is the second deadliest snake in the world, has been spotted in large numbers in Lagos.
The Island Taipan snake can kill hundreds of people with just one drop of its venom. N6 painted a dangerous scenario where the snake spits into a water source. This could cause massive deaths.
Sharing a photo of the snake on Instagram, N6 wrote:

ONE DROP OF ITS VENOM CAN KILL 100 PEOPLE, IMAGINE IT SPITS INTO OUR WATER SUPPLY? HOW IT GOT INTO NIGERIA IS STILL A MYSTERY. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO ANTI-VENOM FOR IT AVAILABLE. PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN AND STAY ALERT. #TeamN6
His revelation has caused panic among Lekki residents on social media. Whereas non-residents of Lekki have taken advantage of the situation to gloat and throw jabs at residents of Lekki and its environs.
