One person was killed following the invasion of displaced hippopotamuses in the Guyuk and Shelleng Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.

The Chairman of Guyuk Local Government, Mr Shalom Kassa, said on Monday in the Banjiram community, that a young man was reportedly killed by one of the animals during the attack.

Kassa said the hippopotamuses, displaced by flooding around the Kiri Dam in Shelleng, were now within communities, farmlands, and riverbanks, causing fear among residents.

“This is a serious threat to human lives and means of livelihoods; the animals are destroying farmlands, invading flooded homes, and endangering residents and livestock,” he said.

In response, Kassa alongside the Chairman of Shelleng Local Government, Alhaji Abubakar Abba, and traditional rulers, including Kwandi Nunguraya of Guyuk, Kuruhaye, had visited the seat of government in Yola for help.

Kassa explained that persistent flooding across several parts of the state, especially in Guyuk and Shelleng, had forced the animals out of their natural habitat and into populated areas.

He added that residents were unable to defend themselves as existing laws prohibited the killing or harming of wildlife, including hippopotamuses.

“We are appealing to the state Ministry of Environment, wildlife officials, and relevant agencies to urgently intervene before more lives are lost,” he said.

Kassa also extended his condolences to the victims of recent flooding in Yola town, where five persons reportedly died and 55 others were hospitalised.

Secretary to the State Government, Mr Awwal Tukur, who received the delegation, assured them that the government would address the situation.

It is. Hippos are very nasty. They don't eat people, but they seem to kill when they're angry or sometimes just for fun.

they're territorial animals, you trespass into their territory you die, no too much question. They kill most number of people per year in Africa.

All these ignoramus on this thread shouting meat upandan have never encountered a hippo before.

This is scary

It's so saddening that someone had to die
