Oyo State Government has announced the Immediate closure of Agodi Zoo over fear of attacks on attendants by lions.
It declared that the decision to close the zoo without further delay was based on the report received from the company managing the Zoo, AM & C, that one of the lions at the zoo had accidentally attacked one of the attendants, Mr. Hamzat Oyekunle popularly known as Baba Olorunwa, Whom later died from injuries sustained from the incident.
The closure of the zoo was announced through a statement made by the Executive Secretary, Bureau of Investment Promotion (BIP), Mr. Yinka Fatoki.
Fatoki in the statement while expressing shock at the unfortunate incident, however, declared that the lions in the zoo had been evacuated pending further investigations and to avoid further attacks.
He said that the incident was particularly surprising and sad as the said Mr. Oyekunle had fed the lion for over five years and was known to have had a very good relationship with all the animals in the zoo.

ReplyDeleteThree guys were gisting at a beer parlour.
The first guy said when my wife was pregnant she was reading
a book; a tale of two cities and she gave birth to twins.
The second said his wife was reading the three musketeers and
she gave birth to triplets.
The third guy dropped his beer bottle and started running
home.
When they got to his house they saw him burning a book and
they asked why.
He said his wife was reading Ali Baba and the forty thieves and
she is pregnant……not in this house ……it can not happen!. copied
Exactly you can't have a good relationship with animals because they are just that even the domesticated cats and dogs. When they turn on their owners it's usually brutal.
ReplyDeleteSo sad...rest in peace man
ReplyDeleteI just hope I would have the courage to visit a zoo someday. Let me stick to my Nat Geo wild to get a glance of what them wild mammals look like
ReplyDeleteGood relationship with a carnivore? Odinma. Rip to the dead.
ReplyDeleteI watched where one of these people that think these animals are their friend went to cuddle a leopard two actually in a park while the park ranger watched. She said at first she taught the thing was tingling her while it was actually sniffing her, then bam, it attacked, it was the ranger that saved her. They be tempting God unnecessarily
An animal don't know friendship when hungry...rip
