The 35-year-old victim hails from Bauchi State
A zookeeper at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Wildlife Park, Abeokuta, Babaji Daule has been tragically mauled to death by a lion.

According to a statement by the management, the zookeeper, at the heeding of some guests who came after the closing time of the park, agreed to take the guests to demonstrate the feeding routine of the lion in its inner enclosure.

“The zookeeper, apparently, feeling comfortable with the animal, left the safety protection gate open and proceeded to feed the animal. He was mauled by the animal and died on the spot.

“To prevent further mutilation of the body, the animal was put down immediately by personnel of the park. It is important to state that this activity fell completely out of the standard feeding routine of the park.

“Investigations have begun, and the matter has since been reported to the police for their investigation.


“The park commisserates with the family of the deceased”, the statement reads.

The lion must be very hungry, an ebi nkpawa member.

There's just too much hunger in that region, they voted a drug baron hoping he will help them correct their lives, they have now realised that hunger has no tribal marks 😕

Now lions are consuming people when you cannot feed it anymore.

God help them.

Condolences to the Deceased.
Despite he trains and Feeds the Lion, the Lion Shattered him to pieces.

There are certain things in life that you do not play with.
The Only reason Daniel was not Shattered by the Lions was because the Creator of the Lions, GOD ALMIGHTY WAS with daniel.

Listen! No matter how close, loyal and Friendly you are with the devil, he will not spare you. He will destroy you

Sir how is the story of Daniel different from the story of the Chosen Man that a lion ferried from point A to point C and the lion told him bye bye?

There are certain animals that will never be tamed e.g lion , Rottweiler

Over confidence. You don't need to open gate to feed the lion. Just fling the meat into his cage

So sad...but I won't be surprised they've been feeding the lion less these days because of the economy.
