The Nation reports that a 19- year-old boy identified as Osagiator Ighodaro has been arrested by the police in Edo State for allegedly making love to a dog inside an uncompleted building. The bestial act happened at Iguosa community in Ovia North East local government area of the state. Osagiator was caught after a neighbour suspected the manner he carried the dog and followed him to the uncompleted building.

He said the dog followed him as he walked along the street in the community and he took the dog to an uncompleted building where he had canal knowledge of the animal.

He said, “As I was walking along the street I saw a dog following me and I carry it like a baby and there after I decided to take it to an uncompleted building where I did what I did to it. It was there that one man came into the building and arrested me. I did not know what came over me.”

George said he thought the suspect wanted to steal the dog, but was aghast when he saw the boy on it. “When I saw the way the young man carried the dog like a baby. He was romancing it, I decided to tell the owner and I advised him to go towards the uncompleted building. He went to the building and he caught the boy sleeping with his dog.

Owner of the dog, Mr. Garuba Samari, said the dog should be given to the suspect and urged the community elders to report the matter to the police.
