Remember that Jolly elephant that was spotted in Oyo State weeks ago? He's dead.

He died in the custody of experts from Uni of Ibadan after they and the local govt chairman of Saki West decided to transport it to a zoo.

Why would they take that decision? Beats me.

Nigeria has failed both man and animal. Any good thing they touched, dies off. What a country

Nigeria failed you!

I knew it!


The day it entered Nigeria, I knew e don miss Waka!


Nothing is safe in this country. Sleep well Elephant.

IT IS WELL

When people see exotic animals in Nigeria and eat them, I don't blame them because our zoos are animal mortuaries and poorly run.The animals will starve.Go to OAU zoo on Ife and see how sick the lion is.Better to die than starve so badly.They surely don't have the expertise to look after the elephant, now it's dead.

To the OP, so what beats you in the decision? They should leave it to roam about or take it to your house?

So sad

They should have left it in the forest..

This government ehhh

That Elephant that was full of life can not just die like that...

They intentionally killed it for meat, for their mind...how this kind Owanbe meat will just pass us by like that.

Nobody is safe. Not even animals are spared

Experts indeed. They tranquilized that elephant to death. Be wary of 'experts'.

Too bad,we don't need to kill animals that we can't eat or is not a threat to our own life and well-being, such killing is against the Lord command ,he said have dominion over the creatures in the sea and on land ,having dominion is equivalent to taking care or control of general well-being of such creatures, those animals God wants humanity to eat can never go extinct, cos God created them with capacity to produce more but those that were not meant to eat will surely go into extinction if man continue to kill them,the manner they handled the poor elephant � before transporting it to the zoo contributed to it's death

Why is that guy smiling am sure they used the wrong tranquilizer on it
Tusks will soon go missing too

They have starved the poor animal to death.

Pathetic. Nothing works here

R.I.P

Sadly, it died.

Imagine the way it was hauled, like it was some kind of container.

Sad.

Na wa for this country

Very sad

Chai can anything good come out of Nigeria.....hope no be kill dem kill am so

These people are just dumb and stupid. How will you transport a big Elephant that way, binding it in chains and with its back on the floor?

Nigeria failed you...

Sad .. this poor elephant just wandered into the wrong country.. a few miles in the opposite direction from Cotonou to Togo would have been better

This is very bad

Na wao. Hope say no be style dem use poach am. Where are the tusks?

Everyone in the pictures should be held responsible for the death of the Elephant.
