A local mayor in Ekiti State has stirred widespread reactions online after photos and videos surfaced showing a growing collection of animals reportedly being kept within his residential compound.
Social media users jokingly described the residence as “gradually turning into a zoo,” as clips of different animals in enclosed sections of the property circulated.According to community sources, the animals are being properly contained and cared for, though officials have not released a formal statement detailing the purpose — whether for conservation interest, private recreation, or educational display.
The development has generated mixed reactions, with some residents amused by the unusual setup and others raising questions about safety, animal welfare, and regulatory compliance for keeping wild or exotic animals in a residential area.
Wildlife experts generally advise that keeping non-domestic animals at home should follow veterinary guidance and local environmental regulations to prevent health and safety risks.
The story has since turned into a lighthearted public debate online, with many asking: which animals, if any, are truly suitable to keep inside a home?
