It is truly a ‘day to remember’ for Reverend Tony
Amba, the senior pastor of Mega Faith Ministries in
Calabar, Cross River state.

The residents of Ekpiken Close, the pastor and his
family are still in a great shock of the extraordinary
experience that happened last weekend.

The man of God had left the house for a meeting with
his father-in-the-Lord, leaving his household behind.

Unknown to him, they have been living in the same
house with a 19 –year-old python, which is 20-metre
long.

Further revelations made it known that the huge snake
feeds on dogs, fowls, rats and lizards for long without
him and the children knowing they had a strange co-
dweller. However, when he left the house on the
fateful day, the snake decide to come out of its hideout
and use one of the children for its next meal.

Amba explained to Niger Delta Voice saying: “Two of
my children were home alone when they saw that a
something like a machete was piercing through the ceiling
so they ran out of the house. Fortunately, one of our
members was coming to the house at that time, and he is
the one, who inquired from them what the matter was and
they told him what they noticed in the ceiling.”

“In trying to find out if there was someone with a machete
in the ceiling because the opening made was quite obvious,
they set up a form of ladder to climb and look into the
place, but saw something that looked like a tyre, but they
discovered it was shining. They decided to use a bigger
torch light, what they saw was a python and they were
shocked.”

“I just came back from a journey where I went to see my
father in the lord in Abuja and also attended a conference
there. My coming into Calabar was to prepare for our yearly
programme, ‘September to Remember,’ but before coming
back, I already knew that a battle had been won because
God is always in control.

“The occurrence did not come as a surprise but it was not
natural, because what could the snake be possibly eating
for those years it has spent in that place, it is indeed a
September to remember for me ,my family and the
MegaFaith Ministries. When I was alerted, I decided to call
the police so that they can kill it because I am not the kind
of person, who reads meaning to every little thing. But they
refused, arguing that they could kill it and it transforms into
a human being based on the incident that led to its
discovery, so they left without doing anything.”

The pastor further continued by narrating how he was
directed to some Hausa snake charmers from
Bogobiri. After inviting them, he continued by saying:
”When they came (the Mallams), they first went into the
ceiling to ascertain the size of the snake and came down to
tell me that they will collect N60,000, but we bargained till
they came down to N20,000, which we paid. I left them to
continue the work of my Father because I had communion
to administer that evening.”

The Python

He said before he could come back back, the snake had
been killed by the snake charmers but the area boys
prevented them from taking it away. An eyewitness
who spoke on the condition of anonymity however told
Niger Delta Voice that the snake almost disappeared
after they (Mallams) led by Danzaria Rabiu climbed
the ceiling the second time to kill it.

“When one of the ‘aboki’ climbed the ceiling, they could not
find the snake anymore, so they started breaking the ceiling
all over and the creature fell down in fury, started attacking
them, but the four of them over powered the about 20
meters long creature. The incident was really strange
although there is a little bush behind us, but it still does not
explain how the snake entered and have been living for
years, how did it survive for that long in that place, what
was it feeding on? he asked.
