An Army of Black Ants Forced Three Men to Flee Their Saloon Car

This is a completely unbelieveable but true story. In the surburbs of my city Kampala recently, an Army of  black ants forced 3 men to abundone their saloon car. They had been drinking in a nearby bar but had parked their car a few meters from the bar. Kampala is a very wet city these days and sad enough, it is such wet weather conditions  that is conducive for the migration of these army of ants.

The Black Ants are quite aggressive and they attack in a protracted  manner whether you are beast or man. On this particular occasion, when all the drinking was done and the men wanted to take their leave, they approached their car, entered in, but  the car could  not move because the ground had become too wet for the wheels to grip and move forward. They all agreed that they should give the car a push. When they came out to push, little did they know that there were black ants allover the place around their car.This was when the soldier ants got command to defend the colony. It had gotten alittle dark so the half drunk men did not even know that the ants had taken cover allover around the car.

Slowly and surely the ants entered through their clothing down to the under garments and it was from this point that the aggressive ants started to unleash their deadly attacks on the men. The attacks started lightly but later intensified and sent the three half drunk men running in all directions. One of them ran behind a nearby building and started undressing because the entire inner garment seemed full of attacking ants.

 His acts were unfortunately misunderstood by a woman  who had come near the house-she thought the man was undressing in early preparation to rape her-she sounded an alarm which attracted angry men who were intent on beating the “rapist” up.The man was however saved when two of his colleagues were also spotted in a nearby bush struggling to undress. It was then that they were brought together to explain theirbBizarre behavior in the neighborhood. Some of the revellers who were drinking together with the men came to their defence although they were also surprised by their behavior.  It was then that they explained their ordeal to the mob who quickly offered convenient shelters for them to undress in a more private manner.

By then, the men had completely surrendered their saloon car to the army of ants and all of them were visibly afraid to go back to the car. It took the intervention of Good Samaitans with insecticides and hot water to fight off the Ants before the men got persuaded to enter their abandoned car again.
