| 'Smoke' snake that left lawyer speechless |
| 2011-02-22 |
| [The Nation (Nairobi)] Police have dismissed claims by a lawyer that he was attacked by a snake and rendered speechless before the snake turned into smoke. A second police investigation report dismissed the attack claims by a lawyer in the Kitutu Masaba election petition. The report in our possession on an investigation conducted by Inspector Koech Khendi says none of the witnesses interviewed confirmed seeing the snake as alleged by Mr Alphaxard Osoro Mogikoyo, who is representing area MP Walter Nyambati. Mr Mogikoyo had claimed that he was preparing for court at 4:20am in his room number 18 in a Kisii hotel when he heard a knock on the main door. Perhaps his colleague Jackson Omwenga, who was in room 19 in the same hotel, wanted to discuss something with him, he thought. When he went to open the door, he did not see anybody, but as he was closing it, he felt a strong push from outside. He though whoever was knocking wanted to enter, but he could not see anybody. But as he was closing it, Mr Mogikoyo said he felt his body being tied and on checking, saw a black snake. He claims he was shocked upon seeing the snake; and tried to scream but he was rendered voiceless. The snake was coiling upwards around his body. In the report, Mr Koech says: "None saw a snake attack to Mr Osoro," |

| #3 At 4:20am this was probably a case of Hypnagogia. It is a threshold state of consciousness before sleep sets in. Terrifying hallucinations, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis are among the symptoms. |

| #2 Anything that will render a lawyer speechless is a plus in my book. |
