His arrest has led many to criticize President Buhari but according to Shehu, the president is having a good laugh over the issue.
“I am thinking of saying, using my own handle that people linking the President to this dog incident are just displaying their ignorance of the type of person he is,” Shehu wrote on Facebook.
“He enjoys cartoons and likes sharing them. The ones he enjoys the most are those that caricature him. It is cheap and sensational to say he can order a police action against a caricature.

“When he picks a paper, the first page he reaches for is the cartoon page. He laughs and laughs. The President must be having a good laugh over this whole thing. People should listen to the real story behind this dog incident and to not waste precious time seeking the hand of the President in a laughable incident!” he added.
