Dominic Adesanya, the 23-year-old Nigerian who was on Wednesday night arrested by the United States Security Service officials for jumping the North Lawn fence of the White House has been charged with two counts of felony assault on a police officer for attacking the K-9 dogs, four counts of resisting and unlawful entry, and one count of making threats.
Making this known after the first hearing on Friday, Brian Leary, a United States Secret Service spokesman, said that the accused who was unarmed at the time of his arrest would be facing the court for a proper detention hearing on Monday.
Leary pressed further that the accused who was wearing a blue jail jumpsuit during the 12-minute hearing would be undergoing a psychiatric screening before the detention hearing.
This is just as his father, a resident of the State of Maryland has confirmed that he is mentally derailed.
In his confirmation, Dominic’s father, Mr. Victor Adesanya, said his son suffers from mental health problems, adding that he had been arrested in a previous security breach in the United States in the past.
The suspect’s father pressed further that his son was paranoid and hears voices from unseen people, stressing that he was arrested and charged misdemeanor two months ago.
His words: “He had done it before. He didn’t cross the fence. He was at the gate, fussing at the people, wanting to talk to the President to tell the President about his situation. He doesn’t understand, you know, his problem is not the President, you know, his problem is in his head. And he doesn’t want help and we think he needs to be forced to get the help”
He further said his son had been experiencing a downward mental health spiral after he was prohibited from trying out for a college football team at Stevenson University in Westminster, Maryland. “He dropped out of school in November, and doctors have diagnosed him with paranoia and schizophrenia, and have prescribed antidepressants and other drugs.
He was fighting the dogs because he thinks he’s got to prove he’s this phenomenon athlete,” he added.
Dominic’s father continued that the family had asked the American government for help in the past without any success, adding that: “It’s hard to be in your house and not know if the person you’re living with is trustworthy and to know they’re mentally disturbed like he is.
