Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has sparked amusement online after revealing that she felt lonely and sad when staff removed cockroaches from her official residence.
According to the unusual account, Takaichi said she could not bring herself to kill the cockroaches because of her belief in reincarnation. Rather than personally eliminating them, she allowed staff to handle the problem.
However, after the insects were gone, the prime minister reportedly admitted that she began feeling lonely and even missed their presence around the residence.
Her comments have generated humorous reactions on social media, particularly among Nigerians, who found it surprising that anyone could become emotionally attached to cockroaches.
Many Nigerians joked about the unusual relationship, questioning how someone could miss pests after finally getting rid of them, while others praised the prime minister for her compassion toward living creatures.
The revelation has since become a talking point online, with social media users sharing memes and jokes about the Japanese leader’s unexpected attachment to cockroaches.
