The carcass of the whale was found on the Ikuru Town beach , Located in Andoni LGA, Rivers State, south south of Nigeria, off the Atlantic Ocean.


Ikuru Town is also home to one of the richest Rain Forest in Nigeria and accommodates the endangered West African Elephants which are sometimes seen on the beach and around the community.


With Lots of tourism potential from the IKURU TOWN Atlantic Beach and Rain Forest, It is still yet to get the attention of the Rivers State government and other stake holders as the access road to Andoni LGA (UNITY Road) have been abandoned by successive governments.


When our correspondent visited the scene it was observed that the villagers had started cutting off the body parts of the whale to be used as meat and other delicacies.



Whales are national heritage and even in death their carcasses can be preserved and used to attract tourist, as seen in the Royal Ontario Museum , Toronto which houses the heart of a blue whale and its enormous skeleton.

This won't be the first time it's happening.

Government really needs to look into Ikuru town Andoni, lovely place with a very huge potential for Tourism.
I enjoyed my stay there.

The second picture was driving on the sea shore.

They did a great job

If the whale was left there to rot, it will swell and explode in 3 days.

You don't wanna smell a rotten whale, the stench will engulf the whole city
