It's Something wiki (dedicated to cryptozoology) reports:

The J'ba Fofi (Baka: "giant spider"), also known as the Congolese Giant Spider is a cryptozoological creature that is said to exist in the Congo, possibly representing a new species of arachnid. It is considered a cryptid and only in recent years has received publicity.

The J'ba Fofi is described as having a brownish body similar to that of a tarantula, with a legspan of four to six feet.

  • Checking OP's edit where he/she added "according to Baka natives" looks like it was a biassed quiestion. That could alse be a reason of the rage-quit

  • Is a creature that is "said to exist" by a site dedicate to cryptozoology even notably claimed to exist?

As the BBC reports, a huntsman spider found in Laos with a legspan of about 300mm (about 1 ft) is considered the largest known to science.
