It was gathered that the tragic incident occurred when one of the parents of the child took the boy to the school for registration last Monday.

According to the residents of the community, while the parent was perfecting the documentation and registration of the child, the child strayed and the dogs attacked, dragged him to their shed, and feasted on him.

Meanwhile, the traditional ruler of the Nteje community, Igwe Roland Odegbo, while reacting to the incident, said the proprietor of the school knew that dogs rearing was prohibited in the community and went ahead to rear the dogs.

“The young man knows that we don’t accommodate dogs in our community and he went ahead to surround himself with dogs despite warning from the community,” the monarch said.
