Arrest of the man who named his dog Buhari was a proactive step to avert bloodshed- Ogun police says.

                     

Ogun state police command has released a statement explaining why Chinakwe Joachim Iroko was arrested for naming his dog Buhari. According to the police, Chinakwe who lives in Ketere area in the state was arrested to avert unnecessary blood shed because his action of naming his dog Buhari and inscribing it on the body of the dog was already causing serious problems between him and one of his neighbors, Alhaji Halilu Umar. The statement adds that the arrest of Chinakwe has nothing to do with President Buhari. A copy of the statement above.
