Nana Kwame Bediako Cheddar tells how he feeds his two tigers

Nana Kwame Bediako alias Freedom Jacob Ceasar, a presidential contender and head of the New Force Movement, has revealed that he must feed his two tigers a complete cow every three days.

Freedom Jacob Ceasar, popularly known as Cheddar, revealed this during a live studio conversation on Hitz FM on April 10, 2024, describing his successful fight to maintain two tigers at his home despite attempts by authorities to remove the animals.

Ceasar said that he had the necessary facilities and was completely prepared to care for the two tigers, including feeding them with a cow every three days.

“Nobody took any animals from me, they can’t take any animals from me. You saw the headline, ‘Freedom Jacob Caesar gets approval to keep two tigers at home’. That’s what happened.

“They tried to. They didn’t even have the facility. I had the facility. I built it behind my house… I’ve been feeding them. I feed them with one cow every three days, the two of them. It’s very expensive to keep them.

“If not, they would eat you. Because you are flesh. If you’re not giving them any flesh and you’re standing in front of them, they have to use you as a substitute,” he said amid laughter.

Julius Ceasar also expressed thanks to the Forestry Commission for allowing him space to build a zoo after a lengthy fight.

He highlighted that the new zoo, which took nine months to complete, is of world-class quality and would serve as a national asset.

“I want to just say thank you to the Forestry Commission. After months and years of trying to get land to build a zoo that the nation would benefit from, eventually, they had to give me after all this fight, because if not, I would have kept the tigers, and maybe one day they would have had to get on the street. But thank God we built the zoo. It took us nine months, but we built a world-class zoo,” he said.

Cheddar and the two tigers

In May 2022, several inhabitants of Cheddar’s Wonder World estate reported that the businessman had purchased two albino tigers and was keeping them in his home on the estate.

The public became concerned about safety and requested that the relevant authorities investigate the situation.

Following investigations, the Ghana Police Service, along with the Forestry Commission’s Wildlife Division, informed the public that the tigers were safe.

A court judgement then requested that the tigers be relocated from the residential zone by November 2022. However, rumours indicated that the tigers were still being housed at Cheddar’s home.

In May 2023, the Accra Zoological Gardens, often known as Accra Zoo, announced that the tigers will be relocated to the zoo for safety.
