Escaped lions return to Nairobi park

One lioness and her two cubs, which escaped from a wildlife park in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, have been recaptured and two others are believed to have gone back into the park of their own accord.

But it is not clear if more lions remain on the loose.

The BBC's Emmanuel Ignunza in Nairobi says some residents of Kibera, near the park, are angry that the Kenya Wildlife Service is taking so long to capture the lions.

There has been confusion about how many lions escaped and wildlife officials are currently verifying numbers inside the park, our reporter says.

KWS senior warden Nelly Palmeris said three lions were found in a housing complex at a military barracks near the park, BBC reports.
