[Iran Press TV Latest] Police in Sierra Leone have called in fire fighters and the army to take control of a police station invaded by hundreds of hissing serpents. The police station in the town of Gerihun -- infested with an estimated 400 snakes -- has left even some of the toughest officers afraid to go to work.
Despite fumigating measures taken by officials in the Ministry of Health, the snakes have not been dislodged and come out in dozens during work hours.
The unwelcome guests have prompted residents to shun the police station and avoid reporting crimes.
Following the failure in luring out the snakes, sharp-shooters have been invited to the scene.
