A 55- year-old woman, Florence Aladenoye, was mauled to death by a dog in Idanre, in Idanre, Ondo State.

It was gathered that after the dog attacked her, the victim was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, where she later died.

Ogodo said the owner of the dog, Mr. Olofingbasote Afolabi, has been arrested and is being detained at the State Department of Criminal Investigation.

 

Ogodo said,

“The matter was reported to Afolabi, the owner for the dog, but he did not take any action to treat the victim. So the victim was taken to five different hospitals before she died at the FMC.”
