The lion was rescued by authorities after a petition was filed to the Lagos State Ministry of Environment in Nigeria.
Authorities had the unusual task of removing a lion from a house opposite a crèche and elementary school in Lagos, Nigeria. The lion was spotted by a task force team on Friday after a petition was filed to the state's ministry of environment, the BBC reports.
"In as much as we appreciate residents around Victoria Island for their quick action, we urge every member of the public to be observant in their immediate environment and report any strange or unusual activity to appropriate government authority for prompt action," said Egbeyemi. Today, populations have declined dramatically and can mostly be found scattered across countries in East and Southern Africa. According to WGS Nigeria, there are thought to be fewer than 50 lions remaining in Nigeria. These survivors can be found in two sites—Kainji Lake National Park and Yankari Game Reserve.
