Man Shows Up With Big Snake At Immigration Office
Police Officers and immigration officers at Ministry of Internal Affairs were left in panic after they found a yet to be smartly dressed man carrying a bag with a big black coiled cobra at the entrance checkpoint.
Upon discovering reptile, the several people who had lined up waiting for checkup to enter the premises fled in fear as management handled the issue.
Following the incident, the ministry through the spokesperson Mudenyi Simon while addressing a weekly joint security briefing at the Police headquarters in Naguru, Kampala suburb on Monday (18th December, 2023), announced that carrying bulky bags and any irrelevant items posing as a security risk were now prohibited at the premises.

“We have over time found people carrying all types of strange items,” ministry spokesperson Simon Mundeyi says.
“Thankfully, our security personnel handled it, otherwise it would have caused a problem at the ministry gate. The snake is a cobra, black in colour, coiled. We thank God that the security officer did not put the hand inside to try to check but the snake was there,” Mundeyi said.
“I wonder how a sane Ugandan, who is coming to seek for services of passports at the ministry, comes with a snake in a very huge bag. That is something that left us in shock,” he revealed.

“Those are things we do not allow. So, please if you are coming to the ministry to seek services, come with a small bag. If you have a snake or a pet, leave it somewhere or in the car before you approach the ministry’s gate,” he added.
