A 19 year-old man was yesterday arrested in Iguosa, Ovia North-East LGA of Edo State for allegedly sleeping with a dog.
The palace of the traditional head of Iguosa was besieged by onlookers as news of the arrest spread. The man who lives in Benin told newsmen that the dog was following him as he walked along the street and he decided to lead it to an uncompleted building where he carried out the act. He said he often went to Iguosa to seek menial jobs but didn’t know what came over him.
A witness, George Ogbonmwan, said when he saw the man carrying the dog he thought he wanted to steal it. “When I saw the way the young man carried the dog like a baby I decided to tell the owner and I advised him to go towards the uncompleted building. As he went he caught him sleeping with his dog”.
The dog owner, Garuba Samari, said he was no longer interested in keeping it around. The traditional ruler, the Odionwere of the community, Pa Clifford Igiehon, described the act as an abomination and called for a proper screening of the young man. Festus Obadiaru, secretary of the community who also described the act as a taboo, said they handed the man over to the police.
