The missing hyena belonging to the Jos Wildlife Park has been found alive and returned to its cage.
Blueprint recalls that the Plateau State Tourism Cooperation, (PSTC), had on Monday informed the general public that the animal disappeared from the park.
However, the management of the PSTC led by Chuwang Pwajok said in a statement on Tuesday that the hyena had been found alive.
According to him, the animal was discovered after a relentless search and immediately tranquillized and captured.
The statement read in part, “The Management of Plateau State Tourism Corporation would like to inform the general public that after relentless search and rescue efforts, the missing hyena has finally been found, tranquilized, captured and safely returned to its enclosure.
“We deeply appreciate the general public for remaining calm and cooperative. This greatly assisted in the search and rescue of the animal. Thank you.”
