In Yauri, Kebbi State, fishermen have come together to hunt down and kill a female hippopotamus that resided in the River Niger, which has killed the Yauri Emir's guard and another farmer.
In a statement regarding the incident, the Chairman of Yauri Local Government Area, Alhaji Abubakar Shu’aibu, confirmed that the fishermen acted on the orders of the Emir of Yauri when they killed the animal.
He said, ”If you could recall, the hippo has killed Yauri Emir’s guard and another farmer in September.
”We can’t keep an animal that is killing people any how, and all the people it killed were not after the animal, they were doing their own fishing business.
“After they killed it, they transported it on a big canoe from the river to the palace of the District Head of Gungu, Alhaji Kasimu Aliyu, amidst applause by a crowd of people.
“The brave fishermen subsequently butchered the animal into pieces and shared the meat to the people.”
