Following previous reports of 12th July, 2016 of A male chimpanzee escaped the Jos old zoo, residents around Beware!!!
MatthewteghaBlog gathered that two chimpanzees escaped from their cage
and were harassing passersby at the premises of the Jos National Museum
and Monuments.
One of the chimps was successfully lured back
into its cage while the other escaped running out of the Zoo premises
and perching on a tree in a residential area located at west of mines
neighborhood not far from the zoo premises.
One of the Chimpanzees that escaped from confinement at the Jos zoo may likely get shot as all efforts by the
men of the Plateau State Fire Service to capture it alive proof
abortive. After 8 hours of trying, one of the firemen climbed the tree
and cut down the branch the Chimp was hanging on making it to fall then
running into the grove close to the zoo.
As at the time of this report, the Chimpanzee was nowhere to be found after disappearing into the thick bushes.
A reliable source confirmed that the Chimpanzee may likely get shot tomorrow if sighted.
