Be careful of those names you call your pets.. Man who named his dog Buhari released after spending days in police custody

 Joe Chinakwe, the trader who was charged in Ogun State for allegedly naming and inscribing 'Buhari' on his pet dog, has been released .

He was released after meeting his N50,000 bail conditions. He is facing a one-count charge of intention to cause breach of public peace.  According to Vanguard, Chinakwe met his bail conditions yesterday after receiving about N90,000 through fundraising appeal coordinated by a human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong. He was released around noon on Thursday and went straight to his residence in Sango-Otta, Ogun State. 

 

The trader was first arrested on August 14 after police received complaints from a neighbour, Halilu Umar, that he had named his dog 'Buhari' in an apparent attempt to ridicule his father, whose name is 'Alhaji Buhari'.
