A bricklayer identified as Lukman has been arrested by the Kwara state police command after he allegedly attacked and cut off the hand of a 60-year-old woman, Muibat Abifarin, with a cutlass.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the attacker was showing signs of insanity when the sad incident happened. He reportedly also attacked two of his co-tenants in a bungalow at Orolodo Area, beside the Olomu’s palace in Omu-Aran.
The woman who had her hand severed was rushed to a private hospital.

A nurse who spoke to NAN said the woman could only receive visitors around 6 p.m. when she might have fully recovered from the effect of the surgery.

She, however, described the ageing woman’s condition as stable and that she was responding to treatment.

HA!
