You will recall that over the weekend, some staff of the zoo claimed that N6.8million generated during Eid was swallowed by a gorilla.
Umar Kashekobo, the Managing Director of the zoo, said ”The issue is under investigations for now and I don’t want to say anything concerning the matter. Many journalists have met me on the issue but I don’t want to say anything. All I can to say is that the money got missing,”
The state police command spokesman , DSP Abdullahi Haruna, also confirmed the reports saying ” Yes it is true that money got missing from the Kano Zoo. It is money they realised for five days of Sallah festivities. As at now, we have arrested 10 staff members of the Zoo and they are in police CID. Among the people we arrested are the gatemen and the people in the finance unit. What we want to understand is why they left such huge amount of money for five days without taking it to the bank,” Haruna said.
Reacting tho the incident through his Chief Press Secretary, Abba Anwar, Governor Ganduje revealed that a probe order which mandates to “unearth everything surrounding the incident.” had begun.
