Nairalanders, please do you know this insect? Is it poisonous and deadly?
Please, kindly help out because I have been killing a lot of them in our new house, even inside our house.
What is it called? This is a small one, I have killed bigger ones before now. Please help me.

Thank you very much

You've just killed the kokoro in Atiku head, can you help with that of Peter Obi

That’s a centipede, bites aren’t dangerous to humans but very painful in some cases

That's a centipede. I heard the sting can lead to progressive nerve damage in humans (not confirmed). And poisonous to lethal levels, if ingested or eats a food it died in. (There's been news supporting this claim)

I recommend you fumigate your house, and the whole environment with urgency. Also close every crack in the sewers walls and floors.

Thanks

That's not an insect, all insects have six legs. Did you attend primary school at all.

I'd rada live in a lion den than dwell in d same house as this insect... I loathe it... Very disgusting... Loves cold wet places...in my language it's called...oduk utong... Meaning.... Enter ear.... If it crawls into ur ears, catastrophic! So OP be careful wen u lay on d floor...it's easy to kill tho... Sniper or raid does it for me...
