The said man who has been in the UK for about a year now undergoing his PhD program was apprehended by Metropolitan police officers in his apartment, after his neighbours called the cops on seeing him beating a dog.
We gathered that a search on his apartment by the police revealed that he had frozen dog parts in his freezer and the dog he was seen beating was dead as at the time the police arrived.
He is hereby in police custody and will be charged to court for Animal Cruelty, fighting with a dog, intentionally allowing a dog to suffer and Mutilating an Animal which could land him a two (2) years sentence and fine up to £20,000 (about Five(5) Million Naira) if found guilty according to the Animal welfare Act 2006, UK. In as much as killing and eating dogs is normal in his native state in Nigeria, we do not know why this educated and enlightened man will not be able to overcome his urge for 404 meat for the three years he ought to be studying in the United Kingdom where Animal Abuse is a criminal offence.
We promise to keep you updated on the proceedings of his trial, even as we hope to see our Calabar brother either acquitted or given the minimum penalty possible, especially because we understand his plight.
