A man’s fluffy best friend went rabid at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo, on Friday, and went for the crotch of a neighbor, Sadiq Oyeyemi.
The canine has been showing signs of aggression all along but reports stated its ownwer, also a student, didn’t take it seriously.
According to the SUG Public Relations Officer Oluwafemi Adegbeyeni, the victim is now in a specialist hospital at Ikare-Akoko.
He said students keeping dogs in the campus community have been warned to put the animals on short leash.
