The lion that sneaked from the Nairobi National Park on Monday night has returned unharmed.
The Kenya Wildlife Service told The Star on Wednesday that the cat that had been seen in Karen returned to the park on Tuesday at 10pm.
“It came back to the park near Multimedia University College and a report was made at 10 o’clock,” said
Paul Gathitu,
KWS head of corporate communications.
This comes as a relief to many Nairobi residents and conservationists who had expressed concern the lion would have met Mohawk's fate.
Gathitu said when the search team reached the university,
another report was made that the lion was near Rongai.
“There is a portion top of the hill towards Rongai that had been hit by a vehicle, which is not fenced. That is where foot prints were seen,” he said.
