Residents of Jos, the Plateau State capital, have heaved
a sigh of relief as a lion which escaped from the Jos Wild Life Park yesterday
morning has been found and shot dead within the premises of the park.
The lion escaped from the park situated at Dong community
of Jos North Local Government Area thereby causing panic among residents of
nearby Dong, State and Federal Low-cost housing estates, Rantiya, Miango Road
and Tudun Wada.
The lion which has been caged in the park since 1972 was
said to have escaped at about 8am when park attendants went to the cage to feed
it but a staff of the Tourism Cooperation confirmed “the lion was sighted
within the park premises and shot dead before it could cause any harm to
people.”
