Bobby Parker, a 51-year-old man, was taken into custody and charged with the mistreatment and illegal ownership of a Chimpanzee which is also referred to as Bamboo.
The joint forces of the Forestry Development Authority and the Special Wildlife Intelligence and Investigation Unit apprehended him on May 1, 2023, in Samukai Town, Caldwell.
Reports indicate that Parker had been keeping the primate in his possession for more than a year.
The FDA’s sources have confirmed that the animal was given alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, causing it to become highly aggressive and pose a threat to the community.
