Police Arrest Owner As Dogs Reportedly Attack Security Guard To Death In Lagos

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user with the handle @itzbasito, the security guard, who is yet to be identified, was seen lying dead as the Boerboel dogs approached his lifeless body.

The user stated that the dog owner unknowingly allowed the dogs to roam freely, leading to the attack that claimed the life of the estate guard on Monday night.

However, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident in a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday.

He posted, “The dog owner has been arrested and is in our custody.”

Responding to a user, @chukwuebukaolu2, who suggested that the death of the security guard might have been caused by a hit-and-run vehicle, Hundeyin stated that “Investigation is ongoing.”
