A dog was named Buhari
Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, a trader in Ogun state has
been arrested for naming his dog Buhari.
Chinakwe was arrested after one of his neighbours of
Northern extraction complained bitterly that he
named his dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
According to Vanguard, Chinakwe told his friend to
kill the dog and eat the meat as his accuser and his
kinsmen reportedly threatened to kill the trader if he
was released on bail.
A relation to the suspect, identified as Chiedozie, said
Chinakwe was being persecuted for no just cause and
expressed fears that he may either be poisoned inside
police cell or thrown into jail.
Chinakwe is a lover of dogs and he names them after things that tickle him. He bought this dog a year ago and named it Buhari. Unfortunately, some Northerners, who dominate the vicinity where he resides misconstrued his intention and connived to take him up. The complainant then claimed it was derogatory because his father answers Buhari.” But a police source said “he not only named the dog Buhari but boldly wrote it on the body of both sides
of the dog and was seen parading the neighbourhood
dominated by Northerners with it.”
Confirming the arrest of the trader, the acting Police
spokesman in Ogun state, Abimbola Oyeyemi said he
was still trying to get the Divisional Police Officer in-
charge of Sango for details.
“I have made enquiries. The man bought a dog and
inscribed Buhari on both sides of its body. One
Mallam lodged a complaint and when our men got
there, we found out that it was true. You know such
thing can cause serious breach of the peace and
ethnic or religious unrest. We are charging him to
court for conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.”
