Its so funny that I can't just stop laughing. Why would the police arrest any animal? Are they not supposed to arrest the owner of the animal for not keeping them away from harming any human within the area(s) where they are being reared? Read to report below...enjoy...

 

  

The Ekiti state police command has arrested two rams in Ado-Ekiti for attacking a 65 year old woman identified as Iya Oyo. 

According to Iya Oyo, she on her way to a commercial bank in Okesa area with her son on Monday to debit her account when two rams allegedly owned by a manager of a petrol station in the area went berserk and gored her, fracturing her right thigh in the process. She said the attack immediately brought her to the ground, causing her to become unconscious till she found herself at a traditional orthopedic clinic where she regained consciousness. 

She said, “on the fateful day, I was going to the Union Bank with my son. We were walking on the walkway and saw the rams in front of us but not knowing what was on their mind. Immediately they sighted us coming, one of them rushed and hit me several times with its horns. Immediately, I fell but as I was struggling to get up, the second ram joined the first to attack me. Thank God that some people came and saved me from untimely death in the hands of these “mad rams.” 

 

Some residents of the area who asked to remain anonymous said the rams have “too notorious and always ready to attack people at sight,” saying “We have complained several times to the owner of the rams to tame them but to no avail.

 

The animals are always roaming the streets and daring people.” Iya Oyo who was writhing in pains at the clinic said the owner of the animals had gone into hiding since the attack without offering any form of assistance to her. 

 

The Director of the Tradomedical Clinic where Iya Oyo was rushed to, Chief Ezekiel Ogunjemilusi, said Iya Oyo was brought to his clinic with fractures on two sides of her right leg noting that the injury will take few weeks to heal. 

 

A police officer at the Area Command confirmed the attack and the arrest of the rams.
