Gov Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano has ordered the State’s Anti-Corruption Commission to probe the claims by the Kano Zoological Gardens that a Gorilla in the state-owned Zoo swallowed N6.8 million.

It quoted the governor as directing the commission to look into the immediate and remote circumstances sorrounding the allegation and “unearth everything surrounding the incident”.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the animal was said to have swallowed N6.8m generated by the Zoo as gate fees collected from visitors of the garden, particularly during the Eid el- Fitr celebrations.
