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.
