A hunter allegedly gunned down a huge elephant at Janiyi camp, Idanre, Ondo state and can be seen posing with the animal’s dead body in pictures.
However, reports are that the animal has been causing chaos in the community, destroying the crops planted in the farmlands and making a nuisance of himself.
The comments on social media from Nigerians have been negatively condemning the hunter for this act, as some believe that the elephant could have been taken to a wildlife reserve
