Charges have been dropped against a 41-year-old
Nigerian man who named his dog after President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Joachim Iroko, a market trader also known as Joe
Fortemose Chinakwe, was arrested in 2016
accused of conduct likely to cause a breach of the
peace.
A judge in south-west Ogun state found the
prosecution had failed to substantiate the charges
against him.
The arrest sparked nationwide outrage. Critics
accused the police of stifling constitutionally
guaranteed freedoms.
At the time, presidential spokesman Garba Shehu
said that Mr Buhari must be having a good laugh
about the story and that anyone linking him to the
dog incident was displaying their ignorance.
Why dogs are friendly
Speaking to Nigeria's daily Vanguard newspaper
after the ruling, Mr Iroko said he had been
vindicated and thanked all those who had spoken
out on his behalf.
Mr Iroko's lawyer said the prosecution had
repeatedly failed to present witnesses and that the
complainant was also absent.
The man who lodged the complaint in August 2016
was reported to be a neighbour.

Of course it's the zoo

Yes that's why he was treated like the animal that he is

Roger3D:
Yes that's why he was treated like the animal that he is

Of course, because he recognized Buhari as the dog he is

When they just elected Buhari the way some people were excessively zealous for the guy, arresting like Pharisees, you would have thought by now everyone they would have been buying fuel for N45 or exchanging N1 for $1.


On the other hand vote for a Southerner, vote for Kingsley Moghalu. Nigeria deserves better.

YPP.

And the dog soaked the baboon in blood. He has learnt his lesson just like Nnamdi Kanu he will never try it again

You sure about that? cos the last time I checked a Judge said he has no case to answer. That means Buhari the DOG still retains its name.

eagleeye2:

Of course it's the zoo

it has if you are part of the Biafra fanatics that i have come across that live in a zoo

eagleeye2:

Of course, because he recognized Buhari as the dog he is

if buhari is a dog then you are part of the puppies following him

Yeye people!!
