A lion has killed a man identified as Hamzat Oyekunle at Agodi zoo gardens,
Ibadan. Following the killing, the state
government has announced the immediate closure of the Zoo.
The government said this decision is based on the report received from the company managing the Zoo,
, that one of the lions at the Zoo had accidentally attacked one of the attendants, Mr. Hamzat Oyekunle popularly known as Baba Olorunwa, who later died from injuries sustained from the incident.
Meanwhile, the lions have been evacuated pending further investigations. The government decision was contained in a statement at the weekend by the Executive Secretary, Bureau of Investment Promotion (BIP), Mr. Yinka Fatoki who expressed shock at the unfortunate incident.
He said that the incident is 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. Meanwhile, government representatives have visited the family to commiserate with them over the demise of Mr. Oyekunle.
