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.
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.
