A lion at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State has killed its handler, Babaji Daule.

According to information available to The Eagle Online, the incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday in the Ogun State capital.

The Eagle Online was told that the lion attacked Daule, a 35-year-old from Bauchi State, at the Zoological Garden of the OOPL.

The incident, which was reported at about 7:40am by the Chief Security Officer of the OOPL, was said to have occurred when the trained handler of the male lion at the Zoological Garden “carelessly neglected to secure the locks and barricade the lion’s enclosure before approaching the cage to feed the animal.

“This negligence allowed the lion to escape and attack the handler, resulting in fatal injuries to the handler’s neck and eventual death

“The victim’s body was removed and taken to the mortuary at Ijaye General Hospital, while the wild lion was shot to release its grip on the handler.”

When contacted, the spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident.
