Ahmed Indimi, son-in-law of President Muhammadu Buhari, has acquired a lion as pet.
Indimi, who is married to Zahra, took to Instagram to share photos of himself with a white lion.
Ahmed Indimi, son of Nigeria billionaire and oil tycoon, Mohammed Indimi, got married to Zahra in 2016.
Ahmed Indimi (@ahmed.indimi) captioned the post: “My new pet” and on another picture with the same pet, he wrote: “Love the new pet”.
Below are photos of Indimi with a bright smile on his face as he held the pet:

And as expected, Nigerians have taken to the comments section of the post to express their views on the acquisition of lion as pet by the President’s son–in-law.
One @amma_licious said, “I really hope it’s a joke because these are endangered animals. Their population is diminishing due to poaching and such acts of keeping as pets.”
One Lilvicky68 on Nairaland forum said, “I wish the lion could take a lovely bite.”
Another member of the forum, Wallade, said, “In a sane country, Animal Control Authority or Animal Rights Group would evacuate the animal from his custody, with or without his consent. No one has the right to keep a wild and very dangerous animal like a lion as a pet. The animal belongs to the zoo or wild.”
On Twitter, @sadedoyin1990 wrote in Pidgin English, saying, ” Nah the lion go kill ham las las.”
