The evacuation followed reports that the python had escaped from Idris’ property, triggering panic among residents of Daneji, Mandawari, Kabara, and adjoining communities within the Kano metropolis.
Confirming the development in a radio interview on Sunday, the Managing Director of Kano Zoo, Sadik Kura Muhammad, said the animals are now safely housed at the zoo facility.
According to Muhammad, Ahmed Idris voluntarily handed over the animals to authorities in response to growing public fear over their presence.
He also emphasized that the animals were not considered an immediate threat, contrary to circulating fears.
