The police command in Lagos has arrested the owner of the dogs that allegedly killed a security guard at the Pinnock Beach Estate in the Lekki area.
On Tuesday, a video showing three dogs wandering freely around the lifeless body of a bloodied man went viral on social media.
The man, a security guard at the estate, was reportedly attacked by the dogs, which had escaped from their owner’s property.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the police spokesperson in Lagos, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the dog’s owner a few hours after the video spread.
“Dog owner has been arrested and is in our custody,” the police spokesperson wrote on X, along with images outlining the provisions of the law on “manslaughter.”
