After two black snakes were seen slithering in Liberian President George Weah's office building he's been forced to work from home.
According to DW, two black snakes were found from a hole in the reception area of the building hosting the presidential office.
His press spokesperson said Weah would work from home until the building was fumigated to take care of "crawling and creeping things."
He did not confirm the species of snake found, but Liberia is home to several venomous and harmless snakes that are black.
Warden transferred after snake bite case confirmed
His office is in the top floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in central Monrovia, the country's capital.
The presidential palace burned down in 2006 during independence celebrations.
Prior to his entry into politics, Weah was a former footballer who had been named FIFA's player of the year in 1995. He assumed the presidency in January 2018 on a campaign of stamping out corruption in the desperately impoverished country.
