 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment. He also revealed that 200 Nigerian special forces personnel were undergoing a two-month training programme in Türkiye, with plans underway to establish a similar facility in Nigeria. “We are planning to have some local production unit also in that context, not only selling to Nigeria the tools, equipment, the arms that it needs, but also the possibility of having local production here in Nigeria,” Poroy said.

 Colorado man survives rattlesnake attack after suffering anaphylactic shock and receiving 18 vials of antivenom

A Colorado man is recovering after a terrifying rattlesnake encounter during a family outing left him in anaphylactic shock and requiring emergency treatment with 18 vials of antivenom.

Michael Padilla said he was spending the day with his family near a river when the attack happened. While stepping across rocks, he suddenly felt a sharp strike from behind, describing the sensation as feeling like he had been hit by something sharp.

Within minutes, Padilla began experiencing severe symptoms, including swelling, a strange sensation throughout his body, tongue swelling, and intense pain in his leg. His wife, Amy, noticed his condition worsening as his eyes became red and his symptoms continued to escalate.

The family quickly called 911, but Padilla’s condition deteriorated further while being transported to the hospital. He said he went into anaphylactic shock, experiencing swelling in his face and tongue, severe stomach pain, and vomiting during the ambulance ride.

Doctors later determined that the rattlesnake had bitten Padilla three times, leaving six puncture wounds around his calf. He was treated with 18 vials of antivenom and eventually stabilized.

Padilla said he feels fortunate to have survived the attack and is grateful for the quick response that helped save his life.

Wildlife officials explained that some rattlesnake bites are considered “dry bites,” meaning the snake injects little or no venom. They said that may have happened with one of Padilla’s bites, but the encounter still required immediate medical attention.

Now recovering at home, Padilla and his wife are warning others to treat venomous snake bites as emergencies and seek medical help immediately.

They also encourage people hiking or exploring outdoor areas to remain cautious, especially during warmer months when rattlesnakes are more active.
