Confirming the incident in Maiduguri, on Tuesday, the Director of Forestry and Wildlife in the state’s Ministry of Environment, Peter Ayuba, said, “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.”
