23-Year-Old Nigerian Intruder Arrested For Scaling White House Fence

A Nigerian man Dominic Adesanya, 23, man jumped the White House fence and ran onto the North Lawn before being subdued last night.

The Bel Air, Maryland-based man stood on the North Lawn around 7.16pm, gesturing and lifting his shirt, before being taken down by K-9 units and subdued by the Secret Service. On the lawn, Adesanya kicked a Secret Service K-9 unit that ran at him before another dog wrestled him to the ground and he was taken into custody. ‘Dogs got him,’ a spokesperson for the Secret Service told Reuters after the incident.

The White House was put on lockdown for a little over an hour but was not evacuated. Adesanya’s last post toInstagram on Tuesday (above) showed an I Voted sticker captioned ‘Voted for this B #ImpeachObama.’
