OLA AJAYI, IBADAN<\/p>\n

The authorities of the University of Ibadan have denied the rumour that two lions have escaped from their cages at the zoological gardens in the institution and are said to be on rampage.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mrs. Joke Akinpelu, said\u00a0the widely circulated SMS message\u00a0 that has caused panic among lecturers, students, parents and guardians\u00a0 about lions on rampage in the institution is\u00a0 not true and baseless.<\/p>\n

According to Akinpelu, \u201cthe news is a mere rumour. It is a wild rumour. There is nothing like that. Some people just like causing unnecessary confusion. Immediately the rumour got to us on Saturday, I confirmed from the Director of the Zoo, who said the news was false.<\/p>\n

She went further saying, the University has six lions and the six are intact in their cages as I am speaking to you now. No lion escaped and nobody was injured or killed as claimed.<\/p>\n

When the rumour was spread, she noted that the institution quickly sent news item to the\u00a0 Oyo state broadcasting television station and it was being relayed, dispelling the information as mere rumour.<\/p>\n

She called on the public not to exercise any fear but to go about their duties as the attack from any imaginary lion was nothing but false.<\/p>\n
