The Nigeria Police Force on Thursday vowed to fish out owners of dogs who pay ladies to have sex with their pets.
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement to journalists on Thursday morning.
According to him, the dog owners will be punished and prosecuted upon their arrest.
He also said security agents won’t relent until ladies seen having sex with dogs in viral TikTok videos are apprehended.
The FPRO added that men engaging in bestial acts won’t be spared too, just as he restated that posting such videos online won’t be tolerated.
Adejobi said, “Unnatural offences: we will extend our search, investigation and punishment to the owners of the dogs caught in the act of having sexual intercourse with ladies or being used for similar offences.
“They also have questions to answer. The offence is punishable under the law, thus condemned. We will soon apprehend the lady and others like her including the men, who have been involved in this criminal and barbaric act.”
According to lawyers, the Criminal Code Act and the Penal Code Act criminalise sleeping with an animal and that the act attracts up to 14 years imprisonment in Nigeria.
