The Lagos State Police Command has arrested the owner of the dogs that allegedly killed a security guard in the Pinnock beach estate in the Lekki area.

Naija News reports that this comes after a video of three dogs wandering freely over the lifeless body of the security man made rounds on social media.

An X user who shared the post said the security guard at the estate 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.”

Confirming the incident, the police spokesperson in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, said 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.
