Nigerian actor Ibrahim Chatta has made headlines after threatening to arrest a staff member who injured his horse, an essential part of his movie productions. Chatta's strong reaction came after his employee used a chain to hurt the horse, which is vital for his business. He expressed his frustration on social media, declaring, "I am going to arrest you and make sure no one bails you."

The incident sparked a wide range of reactions from Nigerians online. Supporters defended Chatta, emphasizing the horse's importance to his livelihood and the significant investment he has made in creating unique movie settings. One user highlighted, "Running a business in this environment is challenging enough, let him express his frustration without judgment."

However, many criticized the staff's actions, calling them inhumane. One commenter stated, "If you can do this to an animal, then you can do worse to a human being. You stabbed a pregnant horse. That’s inhumane." Another agreed, urging for proper punishment: "Please punish him accordingly!"

Others stressed the financial value and emotional attachment Chatta has to his horses, suggesting the severity of the staff member's actions. "You complain about the horse, but you can't joke with your phone or car. This horse brings food to his table," one person noted.

While some called for understanding and forgiveness, others underscored the gravity of animal cruelty and supported legal action. This incident has ignited a broader conversation on the treatment of animals and the emotional bonds owners have with their pets, reflecting deep societal values and responsibilities.
