Police arraign woman, 34, over dog's attack on neighbour

The police on Friday arraigned a 34-year-old woman, Blessing Eluwa, in an Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun, for allowing her dog to bite her neighbour.

Eluwa, who lives at No. 4, Ehiorobo Street, off The Bells area, Ota, is facing a two-count charge of causing breach of peace and allowing her dog to cause harm to her neighbour.

The Prosecutor, Sgt. Rosemary Brown, told the court that the accused committed the offence on March 30 at about 2 p.m. at her residence.

Brown said the accused negligently allowed her Alsatian dog, which should have been chained or caged, to bite one Herny Omoniyi.

APC panicking over Agbaje’s chances of winning Lagos Guber poll – Fani-Kayode

Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has faulted the allegations by the All Progressives Congress that President Goodluck Jonathan has strategised to rig Saturday governorship election in Lagos State in favour of PDP candidate, Mr Jimi Agbaje.

He said the APC is in panic mode “because it knows that Agbaje is going to win the election.”

Fani-Kayode, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said this was the first time in 16 years that the APC, together with the opposition tendencies it represents, was facing a formidable challenge from a governorship candidate of the PDP in the state.

He said, “It is not true that the President has any rigging plan for Lagos and neither do we need any such plan because our party is very strong there.

Many of them, who spoke in an interview, noted that they did that to avoid unnecessary squabbles with their wives.

They also said disturbances from their children contributed to making them stay late night at drinking joints.
