‘BUHARI DOG CASE, NOT CONNECTED TO THE PRESIDENT’ – AIG Ali says
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Lagos, AIG Abdulmajid Ali, has denied any connection of President Muhammadu Buhari with a man, Joe Chinakwe,who was arrested and charged to court by the Ogun State Police Command for naming his dog “Buhari”, describing it as grossly misconstrued.
They emphasized that the case, as it was erroneously perceived,has nothing to do with the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Mohammadu Buhari, but with one Alhaji Buhari, the biological father of the complainant, Alhaji Halilu Umar of Ketere Area, Sango otta in Ado Odo Otta Local Government Area of Ogun State.
In a press release signed by the Zone 2, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Muyiwa Adejobi stated that, the man was not charged to court for christening his dog Buhari, but for the behaviors of the suspect and circumstances surrounding the matter.
SP Adejobi further stressed that, the suspect had allegedly been having conflicts with his neighbor, (complainant) named his dog Buhari, his neighbor’s father’s name, inscribed Buhari on both sides of the said dog, and started parading the dog with swagger amongst his neighbors and/ traders who are mostly northerners.
According to the Zonal PPRO, the said Joe was actually attacked by the people around for his action before he was rescued by the police. The timely intervention of the police prevented a crisis,or inter-tribal crisis in the area.
The release further read, “The Zonal Command therefore seeks the understanding of members of the public on the action of the man,which was capable of causing breach of public peace,an offense the man,Joe Chinakwe,was actually charged for under section 249(d) of the Criminal Code.
“The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Lagos,AIG Absulmajid Ali,appeals to the general public to understand the action of the police in the matter,which is in consonance with the primary duties of the Nigeria Police Force as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,and accept it as a professional way of preventing total breakdown of law and order.”
