Three residents of Fegbile Estate, Lagos, Victor Eugene, Uthman Nureni and Chineye Nancy, have been arrested for allegedly releasing their dogs to attack the estate’s guard for impounding their motorcycle on Monday.
Two naval personnel who allegedly aided the attack on the guard are on the run.

Lagos police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the arrest, said it was a case of dog bite and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
He further said, “Aside ordering the dogs to attack the guard, the suspects also fought with the security man because he was alone
“Those in naval uniforms bolted away when they sighted the police team. However, the three suspects were arrested. The security man sustained dog bites. Effort is ongoing to arrest those in naval uniforms.”
