The owner of the dogs which allegedly killed a security guard in the Pinnock beach estate in the Lekki area has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that the arrest comes shortly after a video of three dogs hovering over the lifeless body of the security man surfaced on social media.
Sharing the video, an X user said the security guard was attacked by the dogs that escaped from their owner’s property.
The post read, “Someone’s dog at pinnock estate attacked a security guard and killed him, I can’t take Nigerian dog owners serious, I hope the family of the security sue them of every penny they own in this life. Nigerians who own guard dogs have no idea how to handle them and neither are the dogs trained. I really hope those dogs are killed and the owners rot in jail or pay through their nose.”
The Lagos police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, saying the owner of the dogs has been arrested and is currently in their custody.
“Dog owner has been arrested and is in our custody,” the police spokesperson wrote on X alongside images of the provisions of the law on manslaughter.
