A Nigerian man based in Maryland, USA, Dominic Adesanya,(pictured above) has been arrested after jumping the White House Fence. 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. Some of the dogs also had to be treated after Adesanya kicked them.
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.
His jump comes
weeks after a similar incident happened, prompting the resignation of
the director of Secret Service, Julia Pierson on October 1st. In
September, a 42 year old man named Omar Gonzalez also jumped the fence
and got in the East room before he was arrested. Guess there will be
more copycats. The Secret Service need to pay more attention.
