Ali Baba Reacts To Killing Of Elephant In Ondo State
Veteran comedian Ali Baba has reacted to the slaying of an elephant by a hunter at Janiyi camp, Idanre area of Ondo state.
Ali Baba faulted the Government for not putting in place the right agencies that preserves endangered species, after congratulating the hunter.
He also blamed the hunter’s ignorance for not knowing what the elephant was worth alive than dead.
Posting a collage of the elephant photos, the comedian wrote:
“Congratulations. You killed the elephant. The meat will last 6 months. Or if you sell it you will make lets say about 200k… hmmm. Then someone will say his agency protects the endangered species in Nigeria.
“They think it’s just about placing adverts to justify their annual allocation. If we had functional reserves, would we not have more value for this elephant? There are full grown adults of 40 years plus, that have never set their eyes on a real elephant, or even touched one. But hey…
“You can not blame the man. If he knew how much that elephant would have fetched him ALIVE… He would not have killed it. And see the spectators… all wishing it was their luck.”
