Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime’s ostrich and monkey turned violent and attacked a police officer attached to the Government House, Enugu while the monkey assaulted a civilian at the Governor’s lodge recently.

The medical director of the Government House Medical Centre, who is also the personal physician to the Governor, Dr. Anthony Ogbonna made this revelation during the hearing at the panel investigating the allegations against the deputy governor, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi, who is facing impeachment.

Dr. Ogbonna confirmed that the ostrich injured the police man whose name and rank he said he could not remember except he saw his records. He said the ostrich came from the Governor’s lodge and attacked the police officer who was later treated at the Government House medical Clinic.

But when told by Onyebuchi’s lawyer, Chief Chris Aghanwa that the ostrich inflicted serious head injury on the police officer, Dr. Ogbonna retorted: “There was a laceration that we stitched. It was not a head injury.”

Speaking about one of the staffers, Ebuka Abu, who was reportedly bitten by the Governor’s monkey that suddenly became violent, the doctor confirmed the incident, saying: “I am aware that somebody was attacked by a monkey,” although he added that he was unaware of the victim’s name. He emphasized that both the monkey and ostrich came from “the Governor’s compound” before they attacked their targets.

Asked whether it was right to keep monkeys as pet considering that other medical doctors have reeled out some of the causes of the dreaded Ebola disease, and if indeed, monkey is one of the causes, the medical director replied: “Yes. It is a domesticated monkey.” He quickly added that the wild monkeys also cause the Ebola disease. “Yes; the wild ones. After the incident of biting by the monkey, the monkey was removed,” he explained.

He said after the incident, he did not report it to the Enugu State House of Assembly. “No, I did not,” he said.

Dr. Ogbonna, who said he was attached to the clinic since 1994 also confirmed that aside the monkey and ostriches, there were other creatures such as antelopes, horses, cows, goats owned by the governor within the Government House premises.

According to him, there is a veterinary doctor attached to the Government House whose duty is to take care of the animals.
