Kebbi State Governor, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, on Thursday hailed farmers living along the fringes of river Niger in Koko/Besse and Bagudo Local Government Areas for safeguarding the lives of two stray elephants.The governor made the commendation when he visited the areas on a fact-finding tour where he had a glance of the two wandering elephants. 

He expressed appreciation to the farmers for not harming the elephants and providing them with feeds from their farms.“I urge all communities in the state to continue to provide information and support until the animals return to their rightful location,” he said.The governor also warned the public against illegal killing of wild animals, adding that whoever inflicted injury on animals would face the full wrath of the law.The elephants were first sighed at Zaria Kala-Kala village on August 28,2018, and local officials had prevented the residents from harming or killing them.

Now.. let those who kill innocent exotic, expensive snakes learn from kebbi villagers

Very commendable by these villagers and farmers.
Kebbi state is a beautiful,peaceful state to visit and tour.
Lovable,peaceful people.
Majority Muslims but not prone to extremism and radicalism found in some other Northern states.
With a deep thinking and policy driven government in power,Kebbi state alone can provide financially and food wise for Nigeria.
Develop abundant tourist sites,modernise agricultural sector there,both in animal and plant produce and watch foreign tourist troop in,abundant food for both internal consumption and export and the dollars flood in.
Even Nigerians can take tours and holidays in Kebbi state:Large land Mass with lots of tourist sites:Rocks,hills,Rivers.Even the seasonal sand dunes and storms are a site to marvel at,so long one wears protective gears and safety measures taken.

Never knew we have elephants here. I learn something everyday...
