A lion was slain by hunters in Borno State’s Sambisa Forest, which is located in the Konduga Local Council.
The lion is said to have wandered from Cameroun’s Waza Game Reserve before being apprehended and killed by hunters on March 15.
Peter Ayuba, Director of Forestry and Wildlife at the state’s Ministry of Environment, confirmed the occurrence in Maiduguri, saying:
“The lion might have strayed from the Game Reserve of Cameroun. We have similar incidents of elephants from the Reserve entering villages in Kala/Balge council of the state.”
