Lion devours schoolboy in Benin zoo

A 14-year-old 4th grade school boy has been killed by a lion in a private zoo in Bohicon, Benin Republic.

The sad incident occurred on the 6th of March, 2018, when the boy was trying to carry out a maintenance check on their cage.

It was gathered that that wasn’t the first time the boy would be carrying such check. Policemen were later called to kill the lion.

Some comments:
