Joachim Iroko, the man who named his dog ‘Buhari’, was on Monday arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Ota, Ogun State.

Mr. Ebibomini, a police inspector, said the offence is punishable under Section 249 (d) of Criminal Code of Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2016.

The one count charge read: “That you Joachim Iroko aka Joe and other still at large on Saturday 13th day of August 2016, at about 5.30 p.m. at Ketere area Sango, in the Ota Magisterial District did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace, by writing a name ‘Buhari’ on a dog and parading same in the Hausa section of Ketere Market Sango and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d) of Criminal Code of Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2016.”

‎At the hearing, the accused who pleaded not guilty to the offence, was represented by a counsel, U. Michael.

The counsel pleaded that the accused be granted bail, as the offence was a bailable one.‎

The prosecutor did not oppose the plea for bail.

The Chief Magistrate, B. J. Ojikutu, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000 and two sureties who must be regular payers of tax in the state, in same sum.

The sureties were also to attach four passport photographs each to the bail bond, depose to affidavits of being gainfully engaged and reside in the court’s jurisdiction.

The magistrate thereafter adjourned the case to September 19.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the accused, also called Joe Fortemose Chinakwe, was arrested on Saturday after one of his neighbours complained that he named the dog after his father, Alhaji Buhari.

The accused was first taken to Sango Police Station, from where he was transferred to State Command Headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta.

He was yet to meet all the bail conditions at the time of this report.
