The lion that escaped from the Jos Wild Life Park yesterday morning has been found and shot dead within the premises of the park. The lion escaped from the park situated at Dong community of Jos North
Local Government Area thereby causing panic among residents of nearby
Dong, State and Federal Low-cost housing estates, Rantiya, Miango Road
and Tudun Wada.
The wild animal roamed the vicinity of the park which is not fenced,
frantic efforts were made to recapture it. Security outfits in the state
deployed personnel to the area to assist in keeping the animal within
the park premises.
The lion which has been caged in the park since 1972 was said to have
escaped at about 8am when park attendants went to the cage to feed it
but a staff of the Tourism Cooperation confirmed “the lion was sighted
within the park premises and shot dead before it could cause any harm to
people.”
