I guess this is a monitor lizard. Sometimes i wonder how a harmless creature that has survived against all odds in the wild to become this big is put to instant death because we sometimes think its our neighbour's familiar that has come to cause us harm.

Buhari (govt. smiley) better make moves to resuscitate our zoos and reward Nigerians who donate any impressive wild animal to the nearest zoo, thereby conserving wildlife. If the thing na winch, make he turn back to human being inside the cage for the zoo.

Very soon, we'll run out of strange things to kill in this country and start killing people that speak strange languages.

The amount of animals being killed is ridiculous. Why can't we preserve our wildlife. Instead of killing them, donate them to a zoo or something. Smh

I would think zoos are owned and managed by state government and private parastatals. Does Buhari have anything to do with maintenance of zoos? Not sure if Nigeria has any federally funded zoos, could be wrong though. So, the respective state governors/commissioners should be called out on matters like this, not Buhari. Afterall, some of them could have mentioned issues like this in their campaign promises.

I pity Buhari now as he's blamed for everything.

Lol...we should preserve wildlife in our palour abi....its called wildlife for a reason ...... Imagine a toddler playing unsupervised outside when that reptile came in from wherever....

Nigerians don't have time to disturb wildlife ...but when wildlife gets into residential area like that...interlocked an all

This look like like monitor lizard..I'm not sure it is called anta...I think a monitor lizard is called 'awonrinwo'n...might be wrong though but croc is 'óní' while alligator is 'anta' or reverse.
