Nigerian Man Jumps White House Fence

23-year-old Nigerian man, Dominic Adesanya has been arrested after jumping the fence of the White House

Another security breach has occurred at the White House as a 23-year-old man jumped the fence of the presidential residence on Wednesday, October 22.

Dominic Adesanya is said to have entered the premises and stood on the North Lawn before being attacked by Secret Service dogs.

Adesanya was unarmed at the time of the incident but the White House was put under a 90-minute lockdown as a precaution.

Edwin Donovan, the spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed the incident to Reuters saying: 'Dogs got him.'

"The individual was immediately taken into custody on the North lawn of the White House by Secret Service Uniformed Division K-9 teams and Uniformed Division Officers."

Adesanya’s father reportedly told ABC 2 that the suspect had been arrested at the White House before when he tried to get to the president to tell him about the people that were after him.

The suspect’s last post on Instagram was captioned 'Voted for this B #ImpeachObama.'

Adesanya has been taken to a hospital for treatment and two of the dogs who attacked him are being attended to by a veterinarian.

A previous breach at the White House was recorded on September 19 when 42-year-old Omar Gonzalez got access into the main building leading to congressional hearings and the resignation of then Secret Service Director, Julia Pierson.
