Chief Magistrate’s Court in Sango, yesterday, dismissed charges filed against the man who named his dog ‘Buhari’ in a community in Ogun state. Magistrate O. O. Adebo said the prosecutor failed to substantiate his case against Joachim Iroko and consequently struck out all charges preferred against him. Mr. Iroko’s lawyer was ecstatic, yesterday, praising the court for the verdict.


The 41year old was arrested in August 2016 for causing a breach of peace after he was reported by his neighbour, for naming his dog Buhari.


The neighbour, identified as Haliru Umar from Sokoto State, said Mr. Iroko harboured sinister motives when he named his dog Buhari.

Speaking with Vanguard after the verdict, the suspect, Joachim Iroko said he has been vindicated.

He thanked all those that cried out on his behalf during the traumatic period of his being dragged from one police station to another.

“I would like to thank specially, Vanguard Newspaper for blowing the case open and human rights lawyer, Ebun Adegborowa that came to my rescue” he stated.
