A man in Kenya accidentally torched his house down in an attempt to kill a snake which he claimed had entered in his house.

According to sources, Simon Muchora lit fire with an aim of scaring out the snake and kill it later. But he ended up torching his entire house.

A police report has revealed that the man is okay except for the fact that he lost everything as they were turned into ashes while he was attempting to get rid of the snake.

As for the snake, it has been revealed that no one knows whether or not the snake was killed in the deadly fire incident.

While reacting to this incident, Kenyans who took to their different social media accounts to express their opinions on the matter have called out the man for putting the lives of other people in danger even though he would have used another way to get rid of the snake which would have gotten out of his house one way or another.
