The Lagos State Police Command has taken into custody the owner of dogs that allegedly attacked and killed a security guard at Pinnock Beach Estate in Lekki.

This action follows the circulation of a video on social media showing three dogs roaming around the lifeless body of the guard.

In a post on social media platform X, the user criticized Nigerian dog owners, stating, “Someone’s dog at Pinnock Estate attacked and killed a security guard. Dog owners here don’t understand proper handling or training of guard dogs. I hope the victim’s family sues and gets justice.”
