I hereby sentence the dogs to death by firing squad and the owner to 5 years for been an accomplice

RIP to the guard its so unfortunate you left this way....

I doubt it this was a hit and run. He was likely mauled to death by those dogs. Muscular dog breeds like boerboels can be dangerous, especially when they roll in packs. And those ones called pitbulls are even aggressive by nature.

Dog owners will disagree but we should regulate the sort of animals people should be allowed to keep. Pitbulls should be illegal and animals like boerboel's should be heavily regulated or even illegal.

They can be very dangerous. And when they put their eyes on a target, they won't leave it until they are done.

As for the dog owner, he likely won't get jail time but should be made to pay through his nose for this. The family of that security guard should bill them in millions.

This is a pattern among dog owners. Many of them are very careless and arrogant. Some of their dogs are even so horrible and aggressive that once their owners open their gate to drive out, everybody on the street runs away.

Dog owners, always put your dog on leash. No one cares whether its name is princess or it doesn't bite. Put in on the bloody leash.

The owner should face firing squad

I hope bribe no go enter

With the hit and run twist, that may be a new lead. The cloth appears neater than it's a dog attack and no physical wound visible on the skin from that unclear image

When evidence is right in front of us someone is saying hit and run. Like hit and run within an estate

Hit and run ke. We'll, let proper investigation be carried out.

Criminal negiligence. Endangering people’s lives unnecessarily. His love for dogs have led him to his downfall.

Hit and Run vehicle?

Police should release their dogs 🐕 as well on the landlord; a tit for tat.

Dawn.....

Manslaughter,
For the dogs, dead by hanging ,
The owner, life in prison

Bad news for this country just too much ...if bandit no do, unknown gun men, skull minner now is dogs ... Wahala

Looking at the posture of the dead mam, I doubt the dogs mauled the man to death. Unless, of course, someone tampered with the body before the pictures.

How you called person security personnel and he has no means of protecting himself? that's systematic murder and suicide on the part of the security personnel

Someone is suggesting hit and run and police is staying he was attacked by dogs. This one doesn't even need uptosy. Mere looking at his dead body, you can easily identify if h was eaten to death by dogs or was hit by a car.
Nigeria my country.

He will definitely go scot free, no zoogeria again

An autopsy should be carried out.

Doesn't look like the dogs were responsible to me.

would have agreed with u but it's an estate and I'm sure it's very much prohibited against excessive speed.......if it were a dog attack, the security operative would have yelled while the attack was ongoing which would have attracted people's attention.......That guy might have naturally collapsed on his own (but one who would just have naturally collapsed, won't have his shirt rolled up like that.......I believe maybe he might have been attacked by someone (they might have had a bit of a fight or so.....Someone should check for possible stab wounds).....indepth investigation needs to be done to unravel this mystery

Hi

Those Dogs are innocent

Let’s wait and see, you may be right

I have this problem with police authorities making statements without giving full information about their investigations....what's the name of the owner of those dogs,what breed are the dogs.....in what state was the body found at what time did it happen, what's the name of the victim...we see and read preliminary statements by police in saner climes but here,the police would even make it more difficult for you to understand anything.

There's so much about this story that doesn't add up,I see this dogs often and I don't know them as being viciously aggressive, maybe dog lovers can help out here.

I know that estate, it’s like backwood agungi area but the average house in that estate is 500 million Naira. Don jazzy lives there. I used to live in the area

Hmm

The police don start those road have speed breaker everywhere no way to over speed except when driving out the estate
But from dis video i dont think it was along that particular road

So to you, with that speed bump, it's a hit and run?

Hit and Run in an estate, very unlikely.

This might be a terrible coincidence

Nigerian Police always arriving after the food has been served.

A proper forensic investigation is required but can our police do that?
