A 45-year-old commercial driver, Saturday Akpomose,
narrowly escaped death last Saturday, after he was
attacked by seven dogs at Ajah area of Lagos State. The
timely intervention of residents and passers-by saved the
driver from the dogs.
Akpomose, who hails
from Akwa Ibom
State, had gone to
the area with his wife
to visit his in-law, Mr.
Christian Peter,
when the dogs
pounced on him.
Vanguard gathered
that the dogs, owned
by a Navy Captain,
were being taken out
to ease themselves
at a nearby
uncompleted
building, when they
saw Akpomose and pounced on him.
The matter was reported at Ogombo Police Division,
which referred Akpomose to the General Hospital at
Akodo, for immediate treatment due to the severity of his
injuries.
His story
When Vanguard visited the victim in the hospital, he said:
“My wife and I went to visit my in-law on Sunday. He lives
at Okun Ajah Road, in Eti-Osa East Local Council
Development Area. Later, on Tuesday morning, I just
strolled out of the compound and came across the dogs.
“As I stepped out, I saw a security man coming out with
several dogs. They were very huge Alsatian dogs. I was
terrified when I saw them and as I tried to go back in,
they overpowered the man holding them.
“As I bent down to pick a stone and scare them away,
they pounced on me and that was all I knew. They bit me
in almost all parts of my body. As I screamed, some
residents came out and tried to scare away the dogs with
sticks.
“My screams even woke up my in-law who was asleep in
the house. At a time, I became weak and unconscious
and it was the people who rushed me to the hospital.”
Dogs’ owner intervenes
When Vanguard visited the residence of the dogs’ owner,
the Chief Security Officer attached to the building, who
identified himself simply as Victor, said: “Immediately I
got back home, I explained his condition to my boss who
directed me to see his family and take a decision on how
to transfer the victim to his own private hospital for
proper medical attention.
“We have bought all the drugs they asked us to buy. We
are showing the receipt to you just to let you know that
we care about the victim.”
