The Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID) of the Ondo State Police Command has arrested one Olafingbote Afolabi, the owner of a dog that allegedly caused the death of a middle age woman, Mrs. Florence Aladenoye.
The incident was said to have happened last week at Alade Idanre in Idanre Local Government Area of the state.
The dog which belonged to the suspect now in police custody, was said to have bitten the woman several times before she was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Owo for treatment.
It was learnt that all efforts to save the woman by medical personnel  proved abortive.
The incident was said to have been reported at the Alade Idanre Police outpost where the Divisional Officer (DO) led a team of homicide detectives to the scene of the incident and arrested the owner of the dog.
The owner of the dog was said to have agreed during investigation that the dog was not immunised.
Confirming the incident, the Ondo State Police Public Relation Officer, Mr. Wole Ogodo, said the victim was immediately rushed to the hospital shortly after the dog bite her, but was confirmed dead after all efforts by the doctors to save her life were unsuccessful.
He also confirmed the arrest of the dog owner, adding that the police had taken his statement, just as he said the remains of the deceased had since been deposited at Alade Idanre General Hospital mortuary  postmortem examination.
Ogodo warned those who are rearing dogs and other domestic animals in their homes to ensure that their animals are properly immunised and taken care of.
