The Lagos State Police command has verified that a certain Bashiru Ahmed has been arrested for reportedly chopping off a friend’s ear.
The incident happened on Monday inside an abattoir in the Agege neighborhood of Lagos, according to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Command, who verified the arrest on Wednesday.
He claimed that Abdulahi Adulmalik’s ear was severed by the suspect due to a disagreement they had in 2023.
“One Abdullahi Adulmalik of Abattoir Market reported the case at the Abattoir Police Division on Monday.
“The complainant said that at about 4:00 am the same day, one Bashiru Ahmed, also of Abattoir Market, used a knife to cut off his right ear over a misunderstanding they had in 2023.
“The victim was rushed to the hospital where he is still being treated,” he said.
Hundeyin said that the suspect was being detained for interrogation.
