Fanish Ramsey Maloba, 26, was detained in Malenya, Matayos sub-county, on Monday.
The incident was reported to the Mayenje police station as the possession of a snake without a valid KWS license.
“It was reported by officers from Mayenje police post that today while manning Malenya point, they intercepted a man who was carrying a black bag, a black and brown coated live snake of about two metres long was inside the bag,” a police report read in part.
According to police, the suspect, a Matayos sub-county resident, said during his detention that he had traveled over to Uganda to perform prayers and banish demons when the snake appeared out of nowhere before he captured it.
“He was now taking it over to his Apostle Ministries Church within Matayos for more prayers,” police said.
