A certain Samuel from Ado local government area of Benue State has allegedly cut off the hand of a man identified as Onazi during a squabble in the area.
Onazi is currently battling between life and death in an undisclosed hospital.
The victim of the unfortunate incident, Onazi, narrated that he had accompanied his cousin to bring a motorcycle.
According to him, on reaching a computer centre where they went to get a document, they met Samuel.
He said Samuel had asked him to explain what was happening between him and his younger brother, with ‘aggressive voice.’
According to Onazi, he told Samuel that even if his younger brother had reported him, he ought to have summoned both of them and get the proper story, instead of scolding him publicly.
For daring to challenge him, Samuel vowed to deal with him.
He said, “Samuel who left the scene, reappeared with a sharp sword and those who saw him were shouting Jesus! Jesus! Before I could turn, he had cut off my arm.
“As if that wasn’t enough, he was trying to cut the second hand when I used my right hand to push him away.’
The helpless victim while narrating his ordeal amid tears to our reporter, said for over three weeks that the incident occurred, police were yet to arrest the culprit whom he said was on the run.
He said the suspect was an internal Auditor posted to one of the local government areas in Benue South.
DAILY POST efforts to speak with the accused could not yield fruit at the time of this report.
