– The international media has given its version of the arrest of the man who named his dog after President Muhammadu Buhari because he ires him a lot.

Buzzfeed reports that the ‘Buhari dog’ saga deteriorated into what it presently is because of Chinakwe’s feud with a neighbour and the police’s overzealousness. It wrote: “Thirty-year-old Nigerian trader Joachim Chinakwe is a big fan of his country’s current head of state, Muhammadu Buhari. So much so that, he says, he recently decided to name his pet dog after the president. “Unfortunately, things got weird for Chinakwe after a feud with a neighbor and the police’s overzealousness.”
Buzzfeed’s report on the dog named Buhari To Reuters, the police is holding Chinakwe because it believes that his action could breach the peace of the nation. “His action is provocative and capable of breaching the peace, as you know the volatility of Nigeria now,” Reuters quoted Ogun police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi as saying. The international news agency rounded of its report with the remark that “tensions sometimes erupt between northerners, who are Muslims, and people from the predominantly Christian south. Buhari is a Muslim from the north.”
