Tigers Create Fear Among Residents of Wonda World Estates
The residents of the plush Wonda World Estates located at Avenue Lincoln near the British High Commission at Ridge in Accra said they had appealed to the young businessman (real name Nana Kwame Bediako) to remove the wild animals from the estate but he is yet to grant them that request.
The residents say in many instances, their appeals have been met with hostility. One of the unhappy residents stated in the report attributed to the Daily Guide newspaper that apart from the danger of a possible attack on them, the animals stink.
“Those animals are held inside an apartment where there is no access to proper fresh air. As soon as the door is open, you sniff a strong unpleasant smell emanating from them,” the resident, whose identity was being protected, told the Daily Guide.
Another resident said:
“They are opened early in the morning and then sent inside around 10am. They pee and poo on the floor. They also make noise which disturbs our sleep.”
The animals have been living among them since November 2021, when they were just cute cubs, the residents recall. They said they had thought that the wild animals would be removed from the estate to an appropriate facility, but they were wrong.
