    Death Announcement An Elephant of Ivory Coast is KilledBy Matamando Manda

    13 February, 2012

    A giant African Elephant was found dead in the village of Gabon in the early hours of Monday,

    13 February, 2012. Pathologist Pelela who arrived at the scene of death immediately, suggest

    the Elephant died of excessive bleeding from bruises and eight bullet wounds it sustained. In

    response, the Elephant shows to have managed seven kicks as per markings that were visiblearound the death spot.

    From my preliminary findings, it shows the Elephant which had been on the run for sometime,

    had undergone a fierce fight lasting over 2 hours sustaining eight bullet wounds with hunters

    from Southern Africa village of Zambia, Pathologist Pelela added.

    When quizzed further as regards how they knew it were Zambian villagers that were strongly

    suspected for making the last and lethal blow, Pathologist Pelela simply showed this reporter anote which had the following inscriptions: We are the Chipolopolo of Zambia village, we will be

    back

    The bullet cartridges found on the crime scene also had similar markings, indicated a

    Policeman 41 year old Diatta who had a whistle still tucked in between his lips.

    Ironically, Diatta also happened to have witnessed the fight but was unable to rescue the

    elephant despite several attempts to do so.

    A joint operation mounted later by Police from Gabon and neighboring Equatorial Guinea few

    hours later proved futile as the hunters had left immediately through their four chartered

    planes they had brought along. The planes as it were later realized had used an old and unused

    air strip under the cover of night some few minutes before the Elephant was noticed to have

    been brutally killed.

    Police sources which were also collaborated by Chief Pathologist Sebb Blatterer indicate the

    hunters were led by two retired witchdoctors, namely Kenneth Kanda (KK) and Ralph Banda

    (RB) as well as a serving intern white doctor, Gudy Scot and several other mining villagers from

    Konkoladi.

    Besides killing our Elephant, the hunters also took away its tasks as well as our prized beer

    drinking cup we had hidden away, said an almost crying Chief Guard Droba much to the

    laughter of the cheering crowd that had gathered around the huge slain African Elephant.

    The four planes as per radar readings indicate to be destined for neighboring Malawi village for

    refueling before proceeding for the Copper belt where their spouses were reportedly awaiting

    to massage the brave hunters as well as have their much awaited ivory necklaces. This as per

    online media reports sourced from Donchi Kubeba Times.

    It is therefore not known how the situation will be handled following a similar pledge from

    Lusaka based ladies who have lined up a series of freebies amongst them being free massage

    sessions to the victorious hunters.

    Meanwhile, authorities in Ivory Coast village, where the Elephant originated from, have

    indicated they will mount a joint operation aimed at dealing with the culprits as well as their

    associates. Chiefs from neigbouring villages of Ghana and Nigeria have so far indicated to assist

    Ivory Coast villagers in this mission but this is yet to be believed as both Chiefs seem to have

    harbored ambitions of getting the same prized beer cup.

    A rescue mission is therefore secretly being assembled following a possible imminent forced

    retirement of Droba, who was the Elephants

    Chief Guard along with his two assistants of

    Toure and Gervinho. The operation is

    planned to be concluded in Zumaland, in

    2013 when the Zambian victorious hunters

    are likely to go on a tour with their prized

    beer cup for Chief Zuma to appreciate. This according to an inside source who pleaded not to

    be named for fear of unknown reprisals.
