A Nigerian man has stirred outrage online after allegedly visiting a zoo in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, only to see what appeared to be a moulded lion displayed within a cage rather than a living animal.
The incident, captured in a viral video, has sparked extensive discussion on social media.
In the video, the man captured footage of what looked to be a porcelain lion inside a cage.
The sculpture was placed behind bars, creating the illusion that it was a live lion on show.
In response to what he saw, the man questioned why such an object was being shown in place of a real lion.
He also charged the zoo’s administration with tricking visitors who paid to see real animals.
