SHOCKING! Gorilla Swallows N6.8 Million In Kano Zoo
Mouthpiece NG found that the Managing Director of the zoo, Umar Kobo, has also confirmed that the money is missing and the issue is being investigated.
According to the police spokesman in the state, “10 people including those on duty when the money went missing have been arrested.
It was gathered that about N6.8 million has been swallowed by gorilla in the Kano Zoological Gardens.
Mouthpiece NG learnt from several sources that the finance officer in the zoo said the gorilla “sneaked into their office” and carted away the money before swallowing it.
Abdullahi Haruna, Police Spokesman said: “The issue is under investigations for now and I don’t want to say anything on the matter, many journalists have come to meet me but I don’t want to talk anything. What I can confirm is that money is missing.
“Yes, it is true that money from five days of Sallah festivities is missing from the Kano zoo. As at now, we have arrested 10 members of staff of the zoo including the security man and those working in the finance unit.”
It will be recalled that a similar case also happened in Makurdi where it was reported that a mystery snake sneaked into the jamb office to swallow some millions.
EFCC had since started investigating a sales clerk, Philomina Chieshe, who claimed a mystery snake sneaked into the account office of the JAMB in Makurdi, the Benue state capital and swallowed N36m.
The anti-graft agency in a Facebook post on Tuesday, February 13, said it was probing the matter and would keep Nigerians updated.
