Sadly its an offence for a Lion to escape from a zoo in Nigeria. And the penalty is death. No tranquilizer or stun guns will be used to sedate him and no reward will be given for it's capture.

Akuna Matata..no need to worry, it won't bite, it's been long they give am food.

Mheen!

Good

Are we safe?

Gbe body

#pray for the victim#

Chineke!!!

Thank God it's still within the zoo.

No precaution was taken
Should in case the lion decided to escape or attack the rangers ?

Nigeria my country

Gross negligence......

E don red o. If people dey kill animals for food some people will call for animal conservation, now see am now. animals will now feed on some people and I hope it's on people calling for animal conservation. things don't work well in Nigeria

I pity dos police officers dat were deployed dere.....I bet u if u go dere now u won't see a single police officer...I know dem......common distress call for armed robbery attack dey don't respond nt to talk of d case of a LION

Unbelievable

even lion sef wan escape this buhari government

See the outside of the zoo so not beautiful. The inside will be worse, no wonder the Lion left!

Why won't it escape, when the only thing they feed it is fura de nono

Kano needs depopulation

Just expect millions dollars to be swallowed soon by this lion.

Lion that was probably tactically freed when they realised they couldn't cope with the feeding and other sundry maintenance again. Na joke o.

We pray it is recaptured before it wrecks havoc on unsuspecting villagers
