I Named My Dog After Buhari Because I Love Mr President – Sango Ota Trader Laments


41-year-old Ota trader, Joachim Chinakwe,
arrested and detained at the Sango Ota Police
Station, Ogun State, on August 13, 2016, for
naming his dog Buhari, has said his life is no
longer safe.
Speaking with Saturday Punch yesterday minutes
before he was again locked behind bars at the
State Police Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta,
after initially being released last Tuesday, the
father of one said he feared for his life because
he does not know what could happen to him
next.
He said
“I had to leave for Eleweran very early on Friday
after receiving a letter on Thursday evening inviting
me to the Command. I thought I was being called
over for a peace talk, I never knew it was for the
purpose of detaining me again.

“I am a law-abiding citizen of this country, I have
never deliberately committed any offence before, I
don’t know why I am being treated like this. I only
called the dog that name for the love I have for
President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigeria, I didn’t
mean to taunt or hurt anybody with it. I don’t know
what next could follow this, I am afraid for my life,
I am in danger, please help me,”
Chinakwe said
before the telephone line went off.
