Photos: Nigerian man arrested after jumping White House fence
(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. Continue to see photos from the
incident…
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.
Below are photos from the incident. Some of the dogs also
had to be treated after Adesanya kicked them..
