It sounds critical, as far as am concerned this issue need be handled professionally, because both sides of the story may sound true. The police or the court, whichever institution is going to handle this case should be very careful, otherwise an innocent person may be charged for nothing. As for dog consumption am not clear, it sounds as if dogs in Nigeria are eaten. Here we don’t eat dogs they are for security reasons.

The justice system in Nigeria is weird. How could this woman be locked up for the allegation that cannot be substantiated. The law in any part of this planet states that suspect is innocent until proven guilty in the law court. Also to you judge I don’t know where you get your education in law. Do you think in your right sense #200,000 Naira bail bond justify the offence this woman was accused of? You can flex all your muscle when it comes to domestic issue like this but you give clean bills to all the armed robbers in the corridor of power. This case is simple, if the accuser has all the proof that his Dog is the one inside that woman’s cooking pot, he can go ahead and press charges, but as a judge the only assurance you need from this woman is for her to show up during the proceeding. This offense is not only bailable but the woman can be release on her own personal recognition pending the outcome of court verdict.
