Large Croc caught in lagos estate,spoke and requested to be fed Human

It is rare to find wild animals roaming free in neighborhoods, so Omole estate in Lagos was recently thrown into a state of excitement when a crocodile was caught in the gated neighborhood.
The two security operatives who captured the crocodile have been made local heroes by their deed, even though their deed is what animal rights activists would look at with dismay.

 One of the security operatives, Abu Alli, said he shot the animal three times after being notified by his colleague, identified as Itoro.

Recounting the incident, Alli said, “My colleague sighted the crocodile moving inside a residence, but he didn’t have a gun. He managed to divert the animal’s movement into a drainage, where it got stuck because it was too big.

“So he came to call me and when I got there, I shot it three times. I’m sure that one of the bullets hit it in the head, but it didn’t die. We later tied a rope round its leg and drew it to the estate gate, where residents had a view of it in daylight. The incident happened at about 2am and by noon, someone bought it from us for N20,000. The animal was still alive when we sold it.”
Since the incident though, the neighbourhood has had its fair share of wild tales and gossips. Different accounts of the incident with varying sizes of the animal have been rendered from mouth to mouth in the estate that the facts have been blurred somewhere between the lines.

A commercial motorcyclist in the estate, who identified himself as Musa, told Saturday PUNCH that the animal that was caught had even spoken in human voice.

“It was very huge and almost as tall as this motorcycle. It spoke and demanded for human being to eat,” Musa insisted.
