Zookeeper eaten alive after filming himself with lions 'to impress girlfriend'

A zookeeper filmed himself trying to recapture three lions that had escaped into a courtyard "to impress his girlfriend" before the wild animals suddenly attacked and ate him. The man named as F Iriskulov, aged 44, is seen unlocking a padlock to the area at a private zoo, called the Lion Park, in Parkent, Uzbekistan at 5am during his night shift.

Following the sale of Automotive Gas Oil, popularly called diesel, the price of the commodity has dropped from about N1,700/litre which it sold for a few weeks ago, to around N1,350/litre in some locations across the country.

Electricity Tariff Hike: 12 States plan to start generating power

Amidst the electricity tariff hike, not less than 12 states, including Lagos and Kano have tidied up arrangements to start generating power in their respective states in conformity with the Electricity Act 2023. The Electricity Act permits the state electricity board or any state authority by whatever appellation, to grant licenses for mini-grids and provide the framework for the operation of such licenses. The PUNCH gathered on Thursday that some of these states had established their electricity market laws and were waiting for the approval of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to have independent regulatory bodies different from the NERC owned by the Federal Government. Meanwhile, the 240% power tariff hike by the Federal Government for consumers in Band A enjoying 20-hour electricity attracted more condemnations on Thursday.
