George Weah: Liberia President forced out of office by snakes

Liberia President George Weah has been forced to evacuate his office after snakes were found to have infiltrated the building on Wednesday.

According to the BBC, the former AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain striker will work from home until April 22 at the earliest after two black snakes were found to have invaded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"That building's been there for years now, and [due to] the drainage system, the possibility of having things like snakes crawling in that building was high,” the Presidency’s press secretary Smith Toby told the BBC.
