Ace comedian, Ali Baba has reacted to the viral picture of some youths celebrating over the killing of an elephant in Ondo state. The Comedian who lambasted wildlife protectors for failing in their duties despite huge budgetary allocation from the Federal Government also blamed the development on ignorance stressing that the hunters would have made more gain if they had preserved the elephant.
His post on instagram reads;
"Congratulations. You killed the elephant. The meat will last 6 months. Or if you sell it yopu will make less than 200k. hmmm then someone will say his agency protects the endangered species in Nigeria. They think it's just about placing adverts to justify their annual allocation.
"If we had functional reserves, would we not have more value for this elephant? There adult of over 40 years plus that have never set their eyes on a real elephant or even touched one. But hey, you cannot blame the man. If he knew how much that elephant would have fetched him alive, he would not have killed it. And see the spectators all wishing it was their luck"
