Nigerian Soldier Arrested In Minna For Cutting Off Trader’s Fingers During Payment Dispute

A Nigerian soldier identified as Sudik has been arrested for cutting off the fingers of a shoe seller, Abdulrahman Salisu, following a payment dispute on Sallah day.

It was gathered that the violent attack occurred at Abdulrahman’s shop near Jolly Bread, close to the Obasanjo Shopping Complex in Minna, Niger State.

According to the victim, the soldier approached his shop to purchase a pair of shoes and claimed to have made payment via bank transfer.

However, Abdulrahman insisted he had not yet received a payment alert.

The disagreement quickly escalated when Sudik, in a fit of rage, drew a cutlass and swung it at Abdulrahman’s head, demanding his money.

In a desperate bid to protect himself, Abdulrahman raised his left hand, resulting in three of his fingers being severed.

As he screamed for help, Sudik and two accomplices who had accompanied him fled the scene.

However, the incident was promptly reported to the police, and security authorities have since arrested Sudik.

Meanwhile, Abdulrahman is currently receiving medical treatment at the IBB Specialist Hospital in Minna.

The attack has heightened security concerns among traders and shop owners in the area, including those at Mobil Roundabout, Jolly Bread, and the Obasanjo Shopping Complex.

Many have lamented the increasing incidents of thuggery and armed robbery, which have put their businesses at risk.

Jolly Bread, a major newspaper distribution hub in Minna, has also been affected by these security challenges, with sales representatives, agents, and newspaper vendors expressing fears over attacks by suspected criminals operating at all hours.

Traders have called on the Niger State government to intensify security efforts to curb the rising threats, stating that they live in constant fear while carrying out their daily activities.

Shows you the inhumane mentality of the average Nigerian soldier instead of seeing themselves as protection for civilians they instead trample on people they are supposed to serve and protect.

The soldier should be dealt with.

Hausa Fight..., TWO COWs fighting.

The person who called this country a zoo should be handsomely rewarded

Show me a soldier with a different attitude.

Ko le’jo ninu 🤷‍♀️

It must be eye for eye judgement 🤷‍♀️they must chop his own fingers too, even more than the numbers he did to Salisu

Such soldier should be drafted among the troops that are that to smoke out Turji Bello from his. hideout.

In all of this no one will talk about the banking system and their slow network at delivering payment while they can take out money all time of the day from your account ..

Na dem dem
No problem

Last week he was on facebook supporting the killing of Deborah and also threatening to kill southerners as retaliation for the Edo youth action.
