The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), located in Ile-Ife, Osun State, is reeling from a devastating loss following the tragic death of Mr. Olabode Olawuyi, a Veterinary Technologist who served as the caretaker of the Zoological garden for over a decade. According to a press release issued by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, the unfortunate incident occurred on Monday, 19th February, 2024. Mr. Olawuyi was attacked by a 9-year-old male lion while he was carrying out his duties of feeding the animals within their enclosure at the Zoological garden. Despite the valiant efforts of other staff members present at the scene, the attack proved fatal, resulting in severe injuries to Mr. Olawuyi. Upon receiving the distressing news, the University’s management, led by Vice-Chancellor Professor Adebayo Simeon BAMIRE, immediately halted ongoing activities to assess the situation firsthand. In response to the incident, the aggressive lion responsible for the attack has been euthanized by the authorities. Mr. Olawuyi had been responsible for the care of the lions since their birth on campus approximately nine years ago, making the tragic circumstances of his death even more poignant. In a show of support, the University management has dispatched a delegation to extend condolences to the deceased’s widow and children, urging them to find solace in faith during this challenging time. Meanwhile, Vice-Chancellor Professor Adebayo Simeon BAMIRE has ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, aiming to determine both its immediate and underlying causes. As the OAU community mourns the loss of Mr. Olabode Olawuyi, they collectively pray for his soul to rest in eternal peace. Despite all medical efforts, as confirmed by the Acting Director of the University Health and Medical Centre, Dr. Tirimisiyu Olatunji, Mr. Olawuyi succumbed to his injuries. https://politicsnigeria.com/breaking-tears-as-lion-kills-oau-veterinary-staff-olabode-olawuyi-photo/ 1 Like

GanagiBitrus:for being a Lion o. Instead of them to adopt better means to avoid the Lion. Will they now kill all the Lion in the world? Adopting death sentence used for humans who kill their fellow humans is akin to judging a fish that can’t climb a tree, with a bird. 3 Likes |

GanagiBitrus:The lion had tasted human blood. Might want a taste of more by any means possible. |

OgaTheTop2:The Lion is already caged. Euthanasia is applicable to cases like where a dog kills a human. Since dogs live with humans, such dog is killed. A lion doesn't live with humans. It is always caged so no need to kill it. |

GanagiBitrus: This is wrong. Any animal that kills a human being is killed. No exceptions. They have become dangerous. Same way the government closes down fake ogogoro shops 1 Like |

missjekyll: A Lion is always a dangerous animal. Since it is already caged, all you need is to improve your safety procedures in handling lions. |
