‘Dismiss Criminal Charges Against Me’ – Man Who Named Dog ‘Buhari’ Tells Court

A Nigerian man whose pet dog shares the same name as President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday asked the court to dismiss criminal charges against him. In a statement sent by his lawyer, the dog owner, Joachim Iroko said he had a “legal right” to name his pet whatever he wanted. “The name is not exclusive to the president, Buhari can just be a name given to any living creature just for identity,” Iroko’s lawyer Ebun- Olu Adegboruwa told AFP. Iroko appeared in court Ota in the southwest state of Ogun in August after being charged with “conduct likely to cause breach of peace” after naming his dog Buhari, Adegboruwa said. He was due back in court on Monday, September 19. Police allege, however, that Iroko wrote the name Buhari on the sides of his dog to antagonise his neighbour, whose father’s name is Buhari. “The man was not arrested for naming the dog Buhari but the conduct surrounding the attitude or the actions of the man,” Ogun state police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi told AFP.

Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control, which is already available on many new cars, uses radar and sometimes other sensors to detect vehicles on the road ahead. You set a maximum speed and your car maintains a safe following distance on its own, operating the gas and the brakes for you. Some systems...

Sport;See What May Happen To Referee That Officiated Controversial Barcelona Vs PSG Champions League Match

Following his controversial decisions in the UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and PSG at Camp Nou, reports in Spain claim that Deniz Aytekin may be removed. The German official’s decision not to award PSG a penalty when Javier Mascherano brought down Angel di Maria in the box has fallen under particular scrutiny. Mascherano later admitted, “It is clear that I did foul Di Maria but I think that is not the reason why we eliminated PSG.”Aytekin went on to award Barcelona an injury- time penalty when Luis Suarez fell in the box under minimal contact. Neymar converted the spot-kick before Sergi Roberto scored in the sixth minute of injury-time, as Barcelona won the tie 6-5 on aggregate. The referee has been heavily criticised in the French press for his performance and now the Spanish publication Marca are reporting that Aytekin is likely to be struck from the Champions League match officials list. That decision ultimately rests with former referee Pierluigi Collina, who now wo...
