A big cat in the zoo of Ghana’s capital jumped at an intruder. The man succumbed to his injuries.
A man has been killed by a lion at Accra Zoo in Ghana after he entered the cat’s enclosure. On a routine patrol, zoo employees saw a middle-aged man jumping over the security barrier of the lion’s enclosure, the Ghana Forestry Commission said on Sunday. “The intruder was attacked and injured by one of the lions.” The man succumbed to his injuries.
In order to recover the man’s body, the lion and a lioness and their two cubs were temporarily locked in a cage. It was said that it was still being checked why the man went to the lions’ enclosure. The zoo turned on the police. This also checks how the man could get into the enclosure, as a police spokesman said.
Accra Zoo was originally founded as a private menagerie by Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah, in the early 1960s. After Nkrumah’s fall in 1966, the zoo was opened to the public.
