One of the chimps was successfully lured back into its cage while the other escaped running out of the Zoo premises and perching on a tree in a residential area located at west of mines neighborhood not far from the zoo premises 

All efforts by the men of the Plateau State Fire Service to capture it alive proof abortive.

The Chimpanzee was nowhere to be found after disappearing into the thick bushes.
