Police arrest 2 unconscious in hospital after chopping off each other’s wrist
Adamu Mohammad and Bukar Audu ended up in hospital bed, bleeding and unconscious, each with a stump of a hand, but the Yobe police still arrested them on Monday.
The two, 25 year-old each, got in a machete fight, and they succeded in chopping off one another left wrists at Garin Alkali community, Dapchi Local Government Area of the state.
According to a statement by spokesman of the state police command, ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, on Monday in Damaturu, the two might be members of rival cults.
“The suspects were arrested after information reached the police at about 20:30 p.m. today, that they fought each other with cutlass and sticks, which turned out to be bloody.
“As a result, both suspects’ wrists of the left hands were chopped off.
“The reason of the fight is yet to be known because both suspects are unconscious and admitted at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Nguru for medical treatment,” he said.
The spokesman said investigation was ongoing in the incident, adding that the Command had adopted proactive measures to rid the area off miscreants.
