Five-Year-Old Little Girl Attacked By Landlord's Dogs Finally Dies

Aliyah Masaku,5 years old, who was attacked by landlord's three dogs
in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, has died.

She died at the
Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital,
Ikeja, on Wednesday
after she was
transferred from the Ikorodu General
Hospital, where she
was first admitted.

Punch Metro had
reported that Aliyah
was sleeping at their
house on Alhaji Abdul
Hakeem Bin Sulaimon
Avenue, off Ewuren Road, Ikorodu, when
an Alsatian dog broke
loose. The dog, Rover, was
one of 15 other dogs
owned by the landlord
who is based in
London, United
Kingdom.

It reportedly dragged Aliyah to the
back of the house
where two other
Alsatian dogs joined it
in attacking her. They inflicted multiple
injuries on her body in
an attack residents
said lasted for about
two hours.

The father, Wasiu, who
was responsible for
the care of the dogs,
had reportedly gone to
buy the dogs' feed
when the incident happened on Monday. Around 11pm of that
day, some residents
reportedly invaded the
house and killed Rover. Aliyah was taken to
the Ikorodu General
Hospital. The father told Punch
around 4pm on
Wednesday that his
daughter had a minor
surgery at the hospital,
before she was transferred to LASUTH.

He said, "This
afternoon, the
doctors said her
condition had
worsened and she
was not breathing normally again.
They said they
would need to
take her to the
Intensive Care Unit
where I would spend about
N500,000 per day.


They have not
been asking for
money from me,
except for the drugs. Please help
me ask Nigerians
for support." Around 6pm, Wasiu
informed Punch Metro
that Aliyah had been
pronounced dead and
broke down in tears. He lamented that his
life would never be the
same again
