Fake images.

That's not Nigeria. Even the camouflage worn by the guy behind does not reflect that of the Nigerian army.
Looks more like the Ugandan Army or so.

People should stop posting things they have no verifiable information for.

Edit....

A reverse image search shows this happened in Guinea and not even Nigeria.

this man should be arrested if its true. that is how our dinosaurs went into extinct. The guy does not even look like a Nigerian

Bro, dinosaurs' extinction was attributed to climate change not humans interaction. Dinosaurs went into extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Humans first appeared on earth durng the Quantenary Period; that's about 98m years apart.

ahaz:
my brother I have once engaged in argument over the existence of lions in Nina.

there were lions in the wild but we have killed them all. D remaining are in yankari reserve

ahaz:
bros am not talking of reserves but natural habitat.. just want to know.
And if they do were are they naturally found?

Yes it existed in the past, in almost every forest in SW, SE and Middle Belt towards North East but due to hunting activities, agriculture and civilisation, they have been driven to almost extinction in Nigeria, I doubt if there are any free ranging left. At the slightest possibility, one may be found in the Forests of either Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau. I'm not sure.

So what if they go extinct?

ahaz:

In kenya

It can't be Kenya.

Kenya takes wildlife conservation very seriously. No one will dare kill a lion and display it without fear.

overdrive:
absolute fallacy.there are no lions in the wild in West Africa.

I also used to believe that until we saw one cross the expressway in the hinterlands of Kwara. They exist. Only rare

Most of you would change your minds if you visit some totally rural places in Nigeria. There are still places where this wild animals exist in few numbers. You want to tell me elephants, lions,leopards & fvking gorillas are totally extinct in Nigeria? Kindly stop being chronic city huggers and travel around. I wonder what official statement you people rely on by the way.

You slowpoke, this isn't how Dinosaurs went into extinct.

Every animal for Naija na yanka!

In parts of Cross River state, I earnt there are still elephants and gorillas

Rhons can also be found around parts of the river Benue.

However, lions and other cats species are mostly extinct as none for been sighted for decades.

If they've been sighted, we should at least hear of one or 2 reports

It's 'being', m0ron.

This man should be arrested that is our national treasure

This man should be arrested that is our national treasure. That alone could create jobs not everything we see that has to enter mouth. The government should give people incentives so that things like this can be saved and games reserves open up. Look at Kenya and South Africa.

I mentioned rural. There are places where the highest phone You'll find is a Nokia torchlight, let's not forget illiteracy. And the habit of rushing to snap things isn't one of the core villager attributes. Now the lion I said we saw,it was around this Fulani nomads area. People who still trek far distances to the nearest river to wash plates,half naked. You're getting my drift? I doubt if they know what social media is. So who's gonna report? Who will take them serious. The city bred people don't even know they exist. It's that bad. Don't mind all those reports o,na armchair investigations & deductions. That's how they said the manatee is extinct in Africa until boys kill & chop 2 big ones for Delta. Awon wildlife journalist

Thanks. I didn't know you sighted a lion.

Manatees plenty. They keep popping up here on Nairaland.

An elephant was even killed in Ekiti state
