This monitor lizard was caught and killed by a social media user
who set a trap for it. He took to social media to share the news as he
prepares to cook up the meat for consumption.
Read his account below:
"So, I was feeling bored and was about to hit the streets about noon yesterday when I heard a knock on my front gate.
It was our neighbor, who's a friend to my Papa, and he was
gonna come check the trap he and my Papa set for some Monitor Lizard
they'd been spotting for a few weeks.
This animal is so sly that it always eat the bait in the trap and always escape it every time until yesterday.
This time, they used three chicken eggs as bait and the
alligator done swallowed the tree, and was about to snuck out when it
got trapped.
I heard my name and I ran outside to go see what's up, only to
see our neighbor slapping life outta the animal with a machete and a coy
smile on his mouth. Immediately, he put a call through to my Papa to
announce their latest catch and I could tell they were exhilarated.
I made my way out to the streets and never got to see the pepper soup made with the animal's meat.
There are more in my backyard because it's a swampy area, and
we let the place be with river weeds and all. Kinda like a natural park,
because we get to see different animals out here doing their thing.
Snakes, frogs, different birds like flamingoes, and all. We still have
the tortoise (last pic) that made its way into our compound. I'm waiting
to see a crocodile come into my compound, I will be ready. And guys -
this is no village or forest. This is Lagos!
Enjoy the pics and imagine what it could've looked liked in the pot. The monitor lizard is not hot, Man's can never be hot."
