Wednesday. According to Mr John Doy, the Acting General
Manager, Plateau Toursim Corporation, the lion escaped
“at about 8 a.m. while it was being fed”. Doy said that the
lion, which had been caged since 1972,“ slipped through
the gate of the cage when it was opened for its routine
feeding”.
“The animal is still within the vicinity of the Park but our
fear is that the Park is not fenced. “We are struggling to
recapture it, but we want members of the public to be
vigilant,” he said. The acting general manager said that he
had already informed all security agencies to come to the
Park’s assistance.
Mrs Naomi Cishak, Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), confirmed news
of the escape, but said that the office had not been
officially informed. “We have not been officially informed,
but we are aware of the incident; that is why we have not
deployed our personnel there,” she said.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer, Plateau
Police Command, Mr Emmanuel Abuh, said: “We are
somewhere, cannot talk to anyone”.
