Nigerian Man Arrested for Scaling White House Fence
Few weeks after a 42 year old man named Omar Gonzalez also jumped scaled the white house fence and got in the East room of the building before he was arrested, a Nigerian man based in Maryland, Dominic Adesanya, has been arrested for a similar act.
According to police reports, around 7.15pm yesterday Wednesday October 22nd, Adesanya, 23, climbed the fence on the North Lawn of the building and got about 20 yards past the fence before he was taken down by Secret Service and dogs.
He’s currently in police custody but is being treated in a hospital for injuries he sustained during the encounter. He was attacked by K.9 dogs.
The White House was on a lock-down for about two hours after Adesanya jumped the fence. President Obama was said to be in the White House at the time of the incident. Police also said Adesanya was not armed…but he’s still in big trouble.
According to his Facebook profile, he attended Stevenson University for business administration and management and Hartford Community College for an associate of science, along with partially business administration and management.
His father spoke with ABC 2 and said Adesanya had been arrested at the White House before and that the family had tried to get him help.
