The man has been confirmed dead after sustaining injuries.

Authorities at the zoo do not know the motivation behind the man’s actions.

The CEO of the Forestry Commission, John Allotey in a statement said

“Around 12:00 hours today 28th August 2022, officials of the Accra Zoo on a routine patrol, noticed a middle-aged man (an intruder) had jumped the security fences and entered the lions’ enclosure of the Zoo. The motive of the intruder is yet to be determined. The intruder was attacked and injured by one of the lions, within the inner fencing of the enclosure.”

“The intruder has been confirmed dead from injuries sustained, and the body has been conveyed to the morgue.”

He noted that all the lions are in good condition.

“Forestry Commission wishes to assure the general public that no lion has escaped from the Accra Zoo,” he added.

Below are some of the popular comments gathered under the trending story by social media users who still can’t wrap their heads around the man’s motive of jumping into the lion’s den and getting mauled after that;

Reginal Adams – What’s ever we are going through, suicide is never an option, but in all things make your supplication to the Lord

Abdallah Shaibu AbdallahOoohhhhh! What was his motive at all? What did he want there? It is horrible. To be attacked by a lion could be really disgusting. I feel sorry for him.

Prince AsareHow can you tell me this story??I’m sure there are two things involved… Either he was already dead and was dumped in the zoo or he entered by himself.If someone dumped him, there’s one thing involved, it’s saddening.If he entered by himself, there are two things involved.Either the economic hardship or broken heart.If it’s economic hardship, fine…but if it’s broken heart, there are two things involved.Either he spent all his money taking care of her or he took care of her with all his money…Whether the couple of both of the two above, there is only one thing involved….Economic hardship

Gideon Doh HeyHe should have known better that the hardship and hunger in Ghana cut across all living things than presenting himself to those lions..in a stable economy those lions might ignore him knowing fully well that their food supply is guaranteed but not in GH when they don’t know where their next meal will be coming from

Johannes MaierThe foolishness even , what he think say lion go do? Kneel down en pray ?
