Tell Nigerian Officials to Stop Social Media Animal Torturer!

PETA US has received disturbing reports of yet another sadistic individual in Nigeria styling himself as a “native doctor” and posting videos of himself torturing and killing animals on Facebook and TikTok using the profile name “Oba Ogun”. Other videos show animals bound and defenceless or writhing in pain. We will not link to the videos to avoid driving traffic to the accounts and incentivising further cruelty, but you can find more information in an e-mail PETA US sent to Nigerian officials here.

The man appears to be operating in Lagos State or Ogun State in Nigeria, and he includes a WhatsApp number on his social media profiles, presumably so he can solicit requests and money for his gruesome exploits.

Section 495 of Nigeria’s Criminal Code Act prohibits torturing animals and causing them unnecessary suffering, and Section 450 criminalises the unlawful wounding and killing of animals. The actions in these videos appear to violate both sections. PETA US swiftly alerted Nigerian officials but is yet to receive a response – and without immediate action, animals will continue to suffer!

Please contact the following officials in Nigeria, politely urging them to investigate this matter using the information provided by PETA US and intervene swiftly before more animals suffer:

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

I’m horrified and deeply disturbed to discover that a man in Nigeria is posting videos of himself torturing and killing animals on social media.

In the videos, the man hacked at a bound dog with a machete before beheading them. A newborn puppy was boiled alive in a pot. A kitten writhing in pain in a pot was bashed with a large instrument. These are just some examples of the atrocious acts committed by this man.

These acts violate Section 495 of Nigeria’s Criminal Code Act, which prohibits torturing animals and causing any unnecessary suffering. I’m shocked the Nigerian government has not yet stopped this man.

The social media accounts belong to an individual with the profile name “Oba Ogun”, who claims to be a native doctor in the town of Ijebu Ode (possibly on Imowo Road) in Ogun State or in Lagos State in Nigeria. On WhatsApp and according to some older Facebook accounts, he is known as “Keshniro Adeshile”. In a post on 10 March, he indicates his name may be “Dr S Keshniro”, and in a post on 26 March, multiple photos depict the man in front of a dark Toyota sedan with Lagos plate number “FST – 277GQ”.

Please use this information to identify this man and do everything within your power to stop him.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
