Providing an update on Monday, December 9, Hadiza said a baby reptile was also discovered, adding that a snake catcher's efforts to capture the father snake ended in futility.
She tweeted:
"We found a baby snake too. The cobra that was caught was female. The snake catcher searched and searched, but the father of the baby could not be found.
"Conclusion: Male snakes are like (some) male humans. Bobo just slithered away after doing the deed."
