Liberia’s president and African player of the century is being forced to work from home after two snakes were found in his office block.

George Weah, along with other people, has been told to stay away from the ministry of foreign affairs until the building can be fumigated after the reptiles were spotted on the ground floor.

The black snakes were seen emerging from a hole in the wall in the building’s reception area.
