Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, the Ogun state trader who was arrested last Saturday for naming his pet dog "Buhari," has been released unconditionally by the police.

Speaking afterwards, he said: “I did not commit any offence. I named my beloved pet dog Buhari, who is my hero. My admiration for Buhari started far back when he was a military Head of State. It continued till date that he is a civilian President. After reading his dogged fight against corruption, which is like a canker worm eating into the very existence of this country, I solely decided to rename my beloved dog which I called Buhari, after him. I did not know that I was committing an offence for admiring Buhari.

He added that the whole ordeal was annoying.

“It is annoying because the complainant is from Niger Republic and I am sure he is one of those illegal aliens in this country. He connived with one Police Sergeant from the Northern part of Nigeria called Musa, who works at Sango Police division to humiliate me. Worse still, the Divisional Police Officer there, did not help matters as he refused to entertain any plea from me after I was arrested that Saturday night. He simply ordered his men to throw me into the cell.”

Chinakwe was released on Tuesday after the intervention of both the Serkin Hausa and President-General of non-indigenes in the state.
