JAMB official to account for N36m ‘ingested’ by snake

A retail clerk with the Join Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), who claimed that an ‘unidentified spiritual snake’ had ingested the sum of N36 million realized from the sales of scratch cards, would be held responsible for the missing money.

Philomina Chieshe had reportedly told auditors that the sum of N36 generated from the scratch card in the Makurdi office was stolen using a mysterious snake.

A senior official with the board said investigators have neither seen the snake in question nor established evidence that a strange snake had lurk around the crime scene  as such Chieshe may be held accountable for the missing money.
