I was there some days back. The Lions were roaring vehemently and youd know they were terribly hungry. A family turned back at the entrance of the zoo whe the noice of the Lions was so heavy.

I think its starvation that caursed the attack nothing else

Has the Lion been "arrested" and interrogated to ascertain what caused the "accident"?

Rip to the poor man... Killed by a Lion... **Braveheart**

Looking at the lion on the background show the lion was also hit by deep recession.
It seem Baba don seriously reduce it's weekly ration.
Lion don warn Baba but he did not do the needful.

Oyo Govt Closes Agodi Zoo



The Oyo State Government has announced the immediate closure of Agodi Zoo.



The government said this decision is 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, 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.
