The teenage suspects aged 14, 16, and 17, were caught at about 10:00am on Wednesday, January 26, 2022.
According to reports, the teenagers arrived at the hotel in Aladinma with a box that was secured with a padlock but when the box was opened, a live snake was found in it.
The boys, who were immediately apprehended , were said to have confessed that they had been to Adagwa in Rivers state where a native doctor made some marks on their bodies and filled the box with US Dollars before they continued on their journey.
