An elephant has been reported to have wondered into a farmland in the Saki area of Oyo State.
The farmers report that it was coming from the Republic of Benin miles away from where it was spotted. They played around with it while wild life lovers pleaded with them not to kill and eat it.
Adesope Habeeb Olamide reports that “We had the visitor came around some miles away from our farm. The visitor was coming from Benin republic en route Nigeria. Farming is adventure.“
Reactions:
Ayodeji Asiru-Balogun It does not need to be captured. Is it still on the farm?
Amobi Sylvester Call the attention of the state government or local hunters for protection
Peter Arthur-Prest Leave the elephant in its natural habitat.
Adesope Habeeb Olamide to Peter Arthur-Prest Our hunters are very dangerous, we never can tell what may happen to the helpless creature in the hands of the uneducated locals.
