Man who named dog Buhari still in prison
The man who named his dog Buhari,
Joachim Iroko, aka Joe, has spent two
days in the Ibara Prison, Abeokuta, due
to the inability of his family members to
perfect his bail conditions.
The Public Relations Officer, Nigerian
Prisons Service, Ogun State Command,
Victor Oyeleke, confirmed this to
PUNCH Metro on Tuesday.
He told our correspondent on the
telephone around 6.44pm that the
defendant’s family members had yet to
perfect his bail conditions.
He said, “The man is still in Ibara
Prison. His family members have yet to
perfect his bail conditions. It is already
late to do that today (Tuesday).”
Iroko, who had been formerly identified
as Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, was
arrested on Saturday, August 13, after
one of his neighbours, Halilu Umar, a
northerner, complained that he named
a dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.
The accused was arraigned on Monday
for conduct likely to cause breach of the
peace in a case with suit number
MOT/617c/2016.
The Chief Magistrate, B. J. Ojikutu,
admitted him to bail in the sum of
N50,000 with two sureties in like sum,
adding that the sureties must be regular
taxpayers in the state.
“Each of them must also attach four
passport photographs to the bail bond,
depose to affidavits of being gainfully
employed, and they must reside in the
court’s jurisdiction,” he had added.
The case was adjourned till September
19.
