Two Brothers Chop Off Father’s Hand To Steal His Cows

A man has lost an arm after his two sons connived and chopped it off.

It was gathered that the sons chopped off their 60-year-old father’s hand in order to rustle his cattle and sell them off.

The herders, Bello Usman and Shehu Abubakar, were said to have conspired with two others to carry out the act.

They have been arraigned by the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) on a two-count charge of criminal conspiracy and causing grievous harm.

The suspects, who confessed to the act, said that they had tried to rustle their father’s cattle but he thwarted their efforts, leaving them with no choice but to cut off his hand.

One of the hands was completely chopped off while the other was nearly severed and was bandaged.

The other two accomplices are on the run but their guardians were summoned by the court and told to produce the suspects on the next adjourned date.

Minna Chief Magistrate, Fati Hassan Umar, ordered that they remain in police custody till September 26.

The injured man was brought to court from the hospital where he was receiving medical attention.
