@ Jurell02:Vanity upon vanity

@Clay Zo:This is animal cruelty; how can you do this to an animal? Go try am for abroad if dem no go arrest you make I know why. Abeg arrest him, he can be causing menace to someone’s business

@Nedugcfr: Abuse of power. Nawa oo, you wan lock humans because of animal

@Ilerioluwa: No now. This is really a wicked thing to do.
People are really badly behaved, mehn. I remember a time when he just bought the horses and some died that; he made a video of how much he bought them and all… I honestly can feel his pain. The guy needs to be taught some lesson.

@Amaka Amina: Please let him get a good vet that can begin treatment on the horse. Let him get the guy arrested and allow the police to do their job. People really don’t learn because when they do bad, they have someone or people that will beg for them or they will start calling God.

@Oluwatimileyin: This is sad. Many people are so cruel to animals in this part of the world, and it’s sad. I hope an example is made out of him and others learn their lesson”.

As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Chatta will proceed with the situation, and whether his staff member will face legal consequences for his actions.
