A two-year-old lion has been discovered in a residential building in the Victoria Island area of Lagos State.

The lion said to be owned by a yet to be named Indian national, is caged at Number 229, Muri Okunola Street in Victoria Island.

The Chairman of Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences, Yinka Egbeyemi, confirmed this to Channels Television on Sunday.

According to him, men of the Nigeria Police Force have been deployed in the area.

Egbeyemi also disclosed that efforts were ongoing by the state government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to evacuate the animal from the building.

He added that the Indian national who owns the lion has been invited for questioning.

Loooool you just made me laugh so hard

How did he get it into the country. Must have bribed immigrations and customs I guess.

d lion will have him as breakfast someday

Yeah that looks like a two year old lion ..Lions get dangerous and very powerful when they turn 4

I wonder how much they spend feeding the lion
Anyway, this is the kind of LION my neighbours keep in Abuja

All I want to know is why the asshole of an Indian national who has been invited for questioning still unnamed?

How much worse can our inferiority complex get?

If it were a Tijani, a Mubashiru or an Ikechukwu that owned this pet; the taskforce boss would have prided himself as being on top of the situation by spilling all their personal and private details.
But it is an almighty Indian, so he must be treated with the highest civility.

Tufiakwa!!

If Indians who have the worst mouth odour and who poop severally without cleaning their yansh can be treated like royalty in Lagos...then our inferiority complex is irredeemably topnotch.

..Mr Egbeyemi should have taken the lion for questioning too

Loooool you just made me laugh so hard

how much you go give am?

These foreigners be flouting our laws.

Can you imagine?

A Nigerian cant try this in their country.

Why are they inviting him? The proper word should've be en "arrested" and not "invited". He should be charged for unlawful possession and endangering of lives .....

Its name must be David Lyin from Bayelsa..

How did he even bring the lion in without anyone noticing until now?

Or bought it from one of our zoos.

like for lion
share for ekuke(bingo/

How people keep pets like lion, Minkey, snakes and other wild animals at home beats my imagination. Like WTF?

Hope he has not feed any of his debtors or workers to the lion

Lol very funny. But this is better than dogs

C something

How is it a crime to keep a lion as pet?

So they want to arrest the lion now. Besides the fact that Lion cubs and rare reptiles are sold online in Nigeria, I don't know why the government is not bothered whenever endegered species like apes, pythons, elephants, civet cats that can be used to preserve the nation's heritage and wild life are being hunted for food. Yet they are quick to clamp down on someone that only wants to domesticate and not eat them

Lol is this a big deal.
It's a domesticated big cat

9ja, some people dey look the baby lion now they see peper soup

Mheen! Foreigners dey enjoy for this country ooo! They just do whatever they want. Why? He must have bribed his way. They so much believed they can do anything and go scot free with the power of bribe.

Check below for what an isreali man who once lived in plateau said about bribe in Nigeria.
