Strange worms have emerged in a school compound in Sabagreia community in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The said unfamiliar worms were said to have been found by pupils of Community Primary School One, Sabagreia, when they were out on break.
This incident occurred about 11:35am on Tuesday, 27 November, 2018.
According to Engr. Kingsley I. Ajoko, who is also a staff of the school, he saw a set of pupils gathered round a corner in the school premise and was equally hitting the the ground with sticks on their hands. Wondering what could have made them gathered gallantly over the corner with sticks on their hands, he moved towards to find out what was going on. One of the pupils said that they found two snakes which they called husband and wife.
However, when he gave a closer gaze at the two creatures which have caused a scene, he found out that they were not snakes but two unidentifiable strange worm-like creatures.
Describing the worms, Engr. Kingsley I. Ajoko further said that they could probably have been brought to the school environment through the recent flood.
"I have never seen this species of worms before. They may have been brought to this part of the world by the recent flood outbreak. They possess a very sharp, pointed and sensitive tail and head. This kind may have the potential to penetrate the skin of humans." he said.
The two strange worm-like creatures were carefully brought to the headteacher's office for further observations. The headteacher of the school, Mr. Idubamo Isowo also affirmed that he had never seen such worms before. According to him, the worms look like a naked rusted that is stiff and can be bent to shapes.
Flood is known to be a good agent of the spread of many deadly diseases and creatures. The sudden appearance of the two strange worm-like creatures could be a sign to testify to this truth.
Still speaking from observations, Mr. Imomoderi Isaac Brown, who is also a staff of the school, said that the worms look potentially deadly and that if they should penetrate the skin of human beings, it could lead to serious complications.
The two strange worm-like creatures which the pupils describe as "husband and wife" because they were two, were taken and carefully put inside a bottle for further observations and investigations.
