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.

Kill em

Kill the dog and its owner shikena

Lol, so na dog dem dey parade again. For us to see dem or wat. Abi, dey want to charge dem to court? Mtchewww. I thought dey are dead sef

The owner should be paraded for having such animal uncaged in people's habitat.

Summarily, the Dogs are in Police Custody...Dogs on trial, Dogs awaiting Court Verdict!, Dogs are Culprits. Poor things.. Whatever happened to the owner of the dogs? He got to be paraded too for compliance, since he refused to do nothing about taming his pets

So after parading the dogs, what next? Till someone dies before the govt. Will kill the dogs abi.. Thank God the victim is responding to treatment

When a dog tastes blood, it should be killed. Or else, the next time it seeks for blood, it will take that of the owner.

......kill?.... What's wrong wit eatin the dogs?

Euthanize them. They have tasted Human Blood. Even the owner's Baby is not safe when they are hungry.

The dogs looked more like it belonged to the policemen, abi why would that policeman pet the dog's ear as if it belonged to him. Pple don't touch a dog they're not very familiar with.

The dogs should not be killed rada such ferocious dogs shd be taken by the police or law enforcement.

You are not completely right because dogs can be intimidated and overpowered.

By right the dog's will be charged and it's owner too. Killing it is not d solution because they are solitary animals but the owner should be prosecuted for bringing up his dogs to be brutal.

The dogs will be charged to court. who will defend them in court?

Ndi uwe oji na nzuzu ha...

See them sounding like one hell of 22nd century Dubai Police men...

It's amusing how the 'Vetenary Doctor' and their 'Being Disease Free' was sounded and resounded.

I bet they'll get a dog-lawyer to defend them.

Incase of condemnation, I've got pots o.

The Judge should temper justice with mercy and sentence dem to 5 years, up for parole in 3 years.

I HATE stories like this because the tragedies are so AVOIDABLE!

If you know your dog is a savage, keep it properly away from humans or you should be PROSECUTED!

Orinoco pulse!

The owner should be charged with negligence

What happened to d hostile dogs?

They seem at home wit those strangers(policemen)

They should be killed already now, I can imagine the trauma that little boy will go through any time he sees dog.
