Ghanaian businessman and leader of the New Force Movement Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has shown the progress of his pet tigers.

Last year, the presidential candidate allegedly breached the laws to import and cage the animals at his Wonda World Estates to ostensibly boost tourism.

His decision triggered a neighbouring family, which sought legal redress. The family complained that the animals were dangerous, noisy and gave off a horrible stench.

Their petition prompted the court to ask Ghana's Forestry Commission to remove the animals from the residential area.

A year after the news of Cheddar's tigers went viral, the aspiring president has looked back on his journey caring for the wild cats.

The pet tigers imported into the country as cubs have now grown huge after being fed a cow once every three days. They can now sit, roll and identify their carers by their scent and voice.

Cheddar claimed that the animals have begun to adapt to their new habitat, an enclosure in the Achimota Forest.

Cheddar now calls the tigers Kunta and Kinte, drawing inspiration from fiction about a Gambian who was enslaved and taken to America.

He says he plans on breeding the tigers and expand the facility into an eco-park for tourism and foreign exchange.
