There was a state of alarm in Dong Community, located in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, on Monday, following the escape of a hyena from the local wildlife park. The hyena broke out of its enclosure on Sunday, causing concern among residents of Dong and the neighboring state and Federal Low-Cost estates.

Chuwang Pwajok, the General Manager of Plateau State Tourism Corporation, confirmed the incident to Punch. He reassured the public that immediate efforts were underway to locate the escaped animal. Pwajok stated, “I received a report yesterday about a hyena escaping from its enclosure at the Jos Wildlife Park. I immediately instructed our staff, particularly the park rangers and animal keepers, to take swift action to find the hyena.”

He continued, “Efforts have been ongoing since yesterday and throughout today. The latest report from the Jos Wildlife Park indicates that the hyena is likely to remain in the vicinity, as it is not accustomed to the environment outside its enclosure and is familiar only with the park.”

Pwajok emphasized the extensive size of the park and the concerted efforts being made to locate and safely return the hyena to its enclosure. He added, “We are committed to ensuring the safety of park visitors and animals. Public notifications have been issued to inform people about the situation.”

Addressing speculations, Pwajok dismissed claims that the hyena escaped due to hunger or neglect, urging the public to avoid spreading unverified information on social media. He clarified, “Contrary to rumors, the hyena did not escape due to hunger. In fact, recent inspections have shown that all animals in the park, supported by increased funding from Governor Caleb Mutfwang, are in good health.”

Highlighting ongoing improvements at the Jos Wildlife Park, Pwajok mentioned, “Despite challenges from years of neglect, our priority remains the enhancement of facilities at the park. Efforts are underway to rehabilitate and modernize all enclosures, ensuring a better experience for visitors.”

In conclusion, Pwajok affirmed, “Claims of hunger as a reason for the escape are unfounded. We are focused on the welfare of our animals and the safety of our community.”
