A Nigerian Man identified as Anthony Oregon has died after he was bitten by a poisonous snake as his friends claimed that it was sent by someone.

According to Shadrack Okpomhe, someone called the deceased to inform him that pigs were feeding on his crops.

However, on getting to his farm, he saw a snake instead. He immediately tried to go back but the snake flew at him and bit him on the leg. Although Tony managed to kill the snake, he didn't survive the poisonous bite.

It was reported that Anthony was laid to rest on May 26, after a funeral mass at Saint Philomena Catholic Church in Edo State.

"Someone called him to inform him about his crops been eaten by pigs, and getting to the farm that evening just a stone throw from the house , he saw the giant snake and immediately went back, according to him, the snake flew towards him and he got bitten, he was brave enough to kill the same snake but could not survive it," Shadrack narrated.

"Tony this wasn't our discussion few days ago, we weere to see this morning and I never knew something had prevented you from us seeing.

"If I was told on time or u called me, Tony e no get how e wan be wey e no go be, local medicine for quench this mess bro, Tony my uncle for do something to this snake back to its sender.

It seems that everything in this country have now become unknown. Anyway!!

Unknown stonemen attacked our mango tree last night and allegedly carted away mangoes and looted the seeds, our dog has commenced INVESTIGATION.

May his soul rest in peace.

Snake wasn't sent by anybody. Perhaps there are other ways his friend would have killed him. Thats gaboon viper/ rattle snake/puff adder. They are very dangerous. He might have stepped on it along his usual entrance to farm. Africa and superstition are 5 and 6

It's pathetic may is soul rest in peace here in Nigeria we don't have good medical center. Bad leaders

That is a viper. Very deadly thing
.He didn't treat himself..
Viper are not that aggressive like cobra. They are ambush snakes. They tend to lie in wait for their prey

Venomous snake may be

But do they have to send snake to farm? Which one be unknown person here

Rip to him

This kind of snake is deadly,I don’t believe someone send the snake to kill him there’s other to kill him
He died because he wasn’t given a proper treatment

Ugm


Now

Ukp

That is a Gaboon viper snake. Very poisonous ...

Rest in peace man.

If you have a farm

Please wear protective wear and a Wellington boot when you enter there.

This is dry season and these reptiles are coming out to bask under the sun.

thats a very poisonous snake n it needs no jazz to kill someone...maybe he stepped on it mistakenly n i dnt bliev on sending animals or objects to another when we are all mortals n even d bible said we have dominion over all animals..

How una take know say Na pesin sent the snake?

When snake bites u, don't panic and call the name. Don't "shout snake snake", cos that will cause the poison to work on your body. Just spit on the spot several times and say these words "termite bite ground, termite bite ground". Each time you make that statement, spit on the area. It will neutralize the poison. The secret behind it is that, the snake poison will return to the ground for not acknowledging its power and comparing it to a termite bite.

That is a puff adder a member of viper family, it is an extremely swift, agile, poisonous and deadly.

Omo na Edo state , we dey talk oo . A place someone can just walk up to you and say to your face I hate you , without any provocation .

@OP, are you trying to tell us or make us know that we now have Unknown Snake men (USM) in Nigeria?

Very soon we would also be having unknown fowl men (UFM), unknown thief men (UTM), unknown nepa men (UNM), unknown president men (UPM), unknown governor men (UGM) and all that...

Nonsense. Poor guy was just unlucky
