Police investigate death of man mauled by dogs in Lagos
An investigation has been launched by the Lagos State Police into the death of a 36-year-old man who was allegedly mauled to death by two German dogs that belonged to a church in Lagos.

The event was reported to news reporters in Lagos on Sunday by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos Command.

According to Hundeyin, the victim's younger brother called the police in Lagos' Abule-Egba neighbourhood to report the crime.

According to him, two German dogs barked at his older brother when he entered the house on Tuesday night about 11.30 p.m.

“The man said the dogs gave his elder brother several bites all over his body. The police immediately visited the scene of the incident by detectives led by the Divisional Crime Officer.

“On arrival, the dogs were not seen. The victim was said to be rushed to Orile Agege General Hospital for treatment by the family.

“On getting to the hospital, it was discovered that the victim has given up the ghost. Family forcefully removed the corpse for burial according to Muslim rite,” he said.

The PPRO, therefore, advised members of the public to always cage and vaccinate their dogs.

“You are liable for any damage caused by your pets,” he warned.
