Update: Picture of the Dogs that chewed a 4 year old boy's scalp in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command has said only a court of law could decide whether the two dogs (pictured above)which ate the skull of a four-year-old boy in Igando area of Lagos State, Omonigho Abraham, 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.”
