Over 40 fishermen in Kebbi have killed a mother hippopotamus that fatally attacked Malam Usman Maigadi, a guard at the Emir of Yauri’s farm, on September 22.
Armed with bows and arrows, the fishermen hunted the animal in Yauri River after receiving orders from the Emir of Yauri. The hippo had previously killed two people, including the Emir’s guard and a farmer.
After its death, the fishermen transported the carcass to the palace of the District Head of Gungu, where it was butchered and the meat distributed among the people.
