Unfortunately, there was nobody around to help during the attack. By the time people came to her rescue, the dog had already killed her baby.

She tearfully explained that her baby had previously suffered from a cold, which she had contracted, and she had gone out to get medicine for both herself and the baby.

After the attack, she was taken to a nearby hospital and later to the police clinic in Oke-Fia, Osogbo, for treatment.
