Man to appear in court for naming dog Buhari

The Ogun State Police Command has rearrested
Joe Chinakwe, the man who named his pet dog
Buhari . He would be arraigned in
court on Monday.
According to the state’s Public Relations Officer,
Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi,  Chinakwe, who was
earlier released a few days ago, was picked up
again based on the belief that the suspect’s
action was capable of provoking an ethnic
religious crisis. He said,
“The man is here with us. He is at the
Criminal Investigation Department. The
charge will be prepared here and he will
be arraigned at Sango Magistrate Court on
Monday.
He is going to court on Monday because
what he did was highly provocative. It can
cause an ethnic and religious crisis. We
have to be proactive, we cannot fold our
arms and allow the state to be plunged
into crisis. In fact, the arrest was made to
save the suspect’s life because the
complainant and his group have
threatened to kill him if he comes back
and this may trigger violence.”
