Nigerians have reacted to the viral images of some fishermen in Nigeria who caught and tied a huge Dolphin.
The Dolphin was caught in Oyokotoro in Andoni LGA of Rivers State. An elephant was recently seen in the same environment.
Some Nigerians have condemned the fishermen’s decision of capturing the fish as they feel it is an endangered species and should be preserved.
