A 30-year-old trader has been arrested by the police in Ogun state for naming his pet dog ‘Buhari.’
The trader, Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, of No 10, Omikunle Street, Sango-Ota, Ogun State, was reportedly arrested last weekend, after one of his neighbours of Northern extraction complained bitterly that he named his dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
Vanguard learned that the complainant reported the case at Sango Police Station, last Saturday, after which the trader was arrested and detained.
However, it was gathered that efforts by the police to recover the dog, which they intended using as evidence failed following a clever move by the suspect.
The trader, said to be trading in female wears at a popular market in Sango, allegedly directed his friends secretly to kill the dog and possibly eat the meat in order to avoid being implicated. It was gathered that consistent appeals by his friends and relations for the police to grant him bail failed as the complainant and his kinsmen reportedly threatened to kill the trader if he was released on bail.
The case, however, took a different dimension two days later when Chinakwe’s relatives went to Sango police station to further plead for his bail only to be informed that the case file and the suspect have been transferred to Ogun State Police Command headquarters at Eleweran.
A relation to the suspect, who simply identified himself as Chiedozie, told Vanguard that his brother was being persecuted for no just cause and expressed fears that he may either be poisoned inside police cell or thrown into jail.
Chiedozie said: “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.”
Police sources, however, told Vanguard that the actions of the suspect “were very provocative.”
The 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”
When contacted around 8pm yesterday, the acting Police spokesman in Ogun State, Abimbola Oyeyemi, ASP, said he was still trying to get the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Sango for details.

They have no right to arrest the Dudu simply because he named his dog Buhari! I think he wouldn’t have arrest if the dog’s name is Mohamed
The caliphate at duty!!!!

What’s wrong wit naming his dog after half dead buhari? It’s just a name after all
Nigeria government dear, make we dey look them
Buhari is a cow name, and not dog’s name. He made a mistake for abusing the dog.
In solidarity with the arrested man and to protest against the sheer stupidity of our police, I have decided to name my toilet Buhari.
Excuse me while I use my Buhari….
It was the dog that called the police to arrest his owner for giving her such a bad name
Why not name your pet with your own father’s name or don’t you have a surname?
And Obasanjo named his chimpanzee Patience. Why wasn’t he arrested?
Buhari is an excenscial dog
For real Maybe they should come and arrest me too because my dogs name is mohammed buhari and the female one is aisha.police am waiting.
Mumu if the man senior u, he should name is dog Muhammad suso..
This is serious buhali dog and pet
Mtcheew… As for me, I can not name my dog buhari because if d dog behave like buhari, we re gone
@ Muhammad suso is a big fool, waiting concern age concern dog name? buhari respect him age before he destroy Nigeria? na the person wey name him dog Buhari I blame sha.

Please let him say sorry and be released.
He was arrested because he is poor and powerless. During Jonathan, Obansanjo donated a chimpanze to a zoo and named it Patience. He was not arrested nor detained.
Ezenwa Ewurum He was arrested because he is poor and powerless. During Jonathan, Obansanjo donated a chimpanze to a zoo and named it Patience. He was not arrested nor detained.
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo bought a 3 years old Chimpanzee last year and name it Patience and nobody called for his arrest. The wife of our president Aisha Buhari also called the executive governor of Ekiti state Ayo Fayose a mad dog and nothing happen, why are they harassing and intimidating this innocent man for naming his dog Buhari? It is an abuse of power
U Nigerian are funny lol joor
Nigeria police una mumu sha

Hahahha well even calling for dog Buhari is an insult upon d dog so d man should b arrested U0001f603U0001f603 bcos he downgrade d dog
For me I see nothing wrong with it that is why American live a free life. If it’s American this happened no body care to know what you named your pet nigerian are too senseless for everything. Even the president what Has he do for nigeria . let police leave the innocent boy alone and ask him never to do such thing again.

There is no law in Nigeria that prohibit anybody not name his pet animal whatever name be it human or non human name. I have a Jimmy a Barack nd a Rossy should the humans that beat this name come nd arrest me? the have not said exactly why the arrested him HMMMM let Notting happen to him there ooo

I don’t really think the president has a patent on the name and am sure he’s not stupid enough to give a directive for him to be arrested
Someone said it’s an insult to the Dog
@ Excellent Grace Love, was it reasonable for him to inscribed the name on the dog’s body?
Nice name bro!!!
Wait..so is there a law in Nigeria that regulates what people name their pets?wow,how shockingU0001f628U0001f628U0001f615
Injustice, buhari should be a nice name for any lazy pet, why denying him bail?
How can wr get ro our desired destinations when we stop to throw stone to every barking dog?
Sometimes ago, they raided akwa ibom gvt house looking for God knows what. They found nothing,
Then the picked up a fight with Fayose…..
And started fighting Saraki…..
Then Ekweremadu…..
And now another dog owner.
How do we get to d promise land with that?
All these are just mere display of focuslessness!
Lol funny enuf my dogs name is aisha…. we call her sha sha U0001f602U0001f602… instead of buhari to improve on nigeria economy he s just sending his agents to arrest ppl. I hate everything about this country since dat man came into power . Truly nigeria is been ruled with sentiments. No light, no freedom, no job , no notin. Nd dese fools are stil punishing us d more…

But buhari
acts like a dog nah
a British dog .
