LION ATTACKS OAU STAFF IN ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN, KILLS ONE, OAU MOURNS

Adeniran Tolulope 
A Veterinary technologist, Mr Olawuyi Olabode, has died as a result of a lion attack at the zoological garden on Monday. The staff was feeding the lions in their den before the lion resorted to devouring the lecturer.

Other staff, who were present at the zoological garden, made efforts to stop the lion from causing further harm, but the efforts proved abortive as the lion already caused severe fatalities.
 
The vice Chancellor, Professor Bamire, upon hearing the incident, ended an ongoing meeting with other members of the University management. 

Debunking earlier claims that the lion escaped into the campus environment, the P.R.O. stated that the lion was euthanized thereafter.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Simeon Bamire, therefore ordered an investigation to be carried out into the incident to find out the cause of the incident. He sent a delegation to the families of the deceased to share the management's condolence with them and encourage them to take solace in God for the occurrence.

According, to a press statement released by the PRO of the university, Mr Olanrewaju Abiodun, the 9years old lion has been under the care of Mr Olawuyi, since it was brought to the zoological garden.
