In Sango Ota yesterday, the charges filed against the man who named his dog Buhari sometime last year.
The Magistrate, dismissed all the charges against Mr Joachim Iroko as he said that the prosecutor failed to substantiate his case against Mr Iroko.
Mr Iroko, 41,was arrested about a year ago in August 2016 for causing a breach of Peace as his neighbour had allegedly reported him for naming his Dog Buhari.
The neighbour, identified as Haliru Umar from Sokoto State, said Mr. Iroko harboured sinister motives when he named his dog Buhari. The arrest of Mr. Iroko sparked nationwide outrage in August 2016 and critics accused the police of stifling constitutionally guaranteed freedom. The police denied that Mr. Iroko’s ordeal had anything to do with the president but strictly about the breach of peace complaints received from his neighbour.
Mr Iroko's lawyer expressed his profound gratitude as the case was dismissed.
