Policeman chops off wife’s hand over N20,000  dispute

An Inspector of Police, whose name is yet to be ascertained, has allegedly cut off his wife’s hand over what was confirmed as “a minor disagreement over N20,000”, Vanguard is reporting.

According to sources familiar with the incident, the pregnant wife of the Inspector of Police is still in the hospital.

Vanguard News said it gathered the Inspector left the money at home in the Dong area of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

By the time he returned to take the money, it was no longer where he left it, leading to an argument between him and his wife.

In the heat of the argument, he reportedly harmed his wife.

He has since been arrested and detained at the Plateau State Police Command Criminal Investigation Department.

The spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, Alfred Alabo, confirmed the development to Vanguard News.
