FG Condemns Deadly Attack On Benin Zoo by DanielTos(m): 5:33pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
The Federal Government has
condemned the attack on Ogba Zoo
and Nature Park in Benin, Edo State ,
on Sunday , during which three
policemen were killed and the Head of
the Zoo, Dr. Andy Ehanire , was
abducted by the attackers.
The Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed , who
made the government’ s position
known in a statement issued on
Monday, described the attack on one
of the country ’ s foremost tourist
destinations as a big blow to ongoing
efforts to lift the tourism sector in the
country .
He said , ” The success or failure of a
tourism destination depends largely on
a safe and secure environment .
Incidences such as the attack on the
Ogba Zoo and Nature Park therefore
negate the concept of tourism as well
as government ’s determination to
develop our tourism industry as a tool
for socio - economic development . ” The killing of the three policemen
attached to the zoo to provide security
for fun seekers, the abduction of the
zoo boss and the trauma suffered by
the visitors who witnessed the attack
are saddening , condemnable and most
unfortunate. ”
Mohammed said the government will
step up security in the entire tourist
sites in the country in order to
prevent a recurrence, while urging the
abductors of Ehanire to quickly release
him unharmed .
He also sent his condolences to the
families of the policemen who were
killed in the attack , and prayed that
God will grant repose to their souls. |
