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.
