The two dogs that ate into the skull of four-year-old Abraham
Omonigho in Igando area of Lagos State have been paraded
by the Lagos State Police Command.
Earlier on today, little Abraham who is now recovering from
the savage attack had said he would never come home until
the dogs are killed. But according a new report on PUNCH, the
Lagos State Police Command says only a court of law could
decide whether the two dogs would be killed or not.
The command, which paraded the two dogs at its
headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos State on Tuesday, added that
the dogs had been examined and been found to be disease-
free.
The Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, said it was
important to parade the dogs so that the public would rest
assured that the dogs were still in police custody, and had not
been released as being rumoured. He said:
“We have brought the dogs out so that the public would know
that they are still in police custody. They have been examined
and show no negative trait. It is only the court that will decide
what happens to them. The police cannot decide to kill the
dogs.”
A veterinary officer of the police, Yahaya Usman, also told
journalists that the medical record showed the dogs had
neither rabies nor other dog-related diseases. He said:
“Initially, we quarantined the dogs, and wanted to find out
whether the dogs had any disease or not. That was the first
step taken by the police. The dogs were under our watch for a
period of weeks. So far, they have not shown any negative
trait. The medical history shows that they don’t have rabies
or the Ebola Virus Disease. The dogs are with us, and only
the court will determine what happens to the dogs.”
Meawhile, the victim’s father, Mr. Odiah Abraham, told our
correspondent the dog had three days to the incident chased
a neighbor and his wife had warned the dog owner, but he
refused.
He said:
“Three days to the incident, a woman who lives in the
neighbourhood had gone downstairs to spread her clothes on
the line. She had left and was approaching her room when
the dogs ran out of their cage and pursued her. She was just
lucky that she was close to her room, if not they would have
bitten her. She ran in and shut the door against her. The dogs
stood at the gate for some time and when they saw she did
not open, they ran back to their cage. My wife met Stanley
(Wesley) and told him to do something about the dogs, as
there were little children within the neighbourhood, but he just
ignored the warning.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that Wesley was the brother of the owner
of the house and had been the one collecting the rent from the
tenants.
