A 40-year-old man, Surulere Raphael, has been apprehended by officials of the Plateau State Police Command after he severed his daughter’s finger over allegations that she stole his money.
The police paraded Raphael on Friday, June 27, 2015 alongside one other suspect, Ponjue Domsing, who killed his father, Mr. Domsing, for refusing to buy him a motorcycle as promised.
Speaking to journalists, Raphael said he cut off his daughter’s finger because she stole his N1, 500 and meat from her mother’s pot of soup.
It was gathered that the severed finger was recovered as an exhibit, while the victim is receiving treatment as an undisclosed hospital.
The state Commissioner of Police, Nasiru Oki, said the suspects would be charged to court for culpable homicide and criminal conspiracy.
