Security officers on routine patrol observed that the middle-aged man had climbed a high mesh fence to get into the restricted area. It contained a lioness, two cubs, and a lion.
The statement from the forestry commission stated that the intruder was attacked by one of the lions within the inner fencing.
The man died of wounds sustained in the attack on Accra Zoo in Ghana’s capital.
