The Kano State Zoological garden
has reacted to report that a huge Gorilla swallowed the sum of seven millions
raised during the last Sallah celebrations in the state.
BBC Pidgin had last week reported
that a finance officer claimed that “a huge Gorilla” sneaked into their office
to “swallow” the money.
However, the Managing Director of
the zoo, Mallam Umar Yusif Umar dismissed the report, stressing that the money
was stolen by burglars and not Gorilla.
Speaking with Guardian, Umar
said: “I was called midnight on Sunday 9th, June, by the head of security that
armed robbers burgled our office, including the revenue office.
“About 6.30am, I left my home for
the office and immediately I arrived I met my office and that of all the
directors opened.
“Instantly I called the DPO,
Sharada police station and reported the case to him. As far as I’m concerned, I
suspect theft and nothing close to Gorilla.”
