Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano state, says there is no gorilla in the state-owned zoo where it was
alleged that N6.8 million was swallowed by the animal.
An official of the Kano
Zoological Gardens had been quoted as saying a gorilla carted away the money
from where it was kept before swallowing it.
But speaking with state house
correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, the governor said it was a case of robbery
and that no animal was involved.
“You know, l already directed the
anti-corruption agency in Kano to wade into the issue and they are still
investigating,” he said.
“But all l can say now is that
preliminary reports indicate that there was an armed robbery at the zoo and not
the issue of gorilla. The issue of gorilla is junk journalism. This is because
there is even no gorilla in that zoo. We are told that there was an armed
robbery incident in which the entire safe at the zoo was carted away.
“The outcome of the investigation
will let us know what actually happened. But l am sure that there is something
wrong anyway.”
