Man Cuts Off Daughter’s Finger for Stealing his Money in Plateau State

Men of the Plateau State Police Command have
arrested a 40-year-old man for cutting off his
daughter’s finger on allegation that she stole his
money.
The man, identified as Surulere Raphael, was paraded
on Friday at the police headquarters alongside one
Ponjue Domsing, who was alleged to have killed his
father, Mr. Domsing, for not buying 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. The girl’s severed
finger has, however, been recovered as an exhibit, while
the girl is being treated in the hospital.
Punch reports that the state Commissioner of Police,
Nasiru Oki, said the suspects would be charged to
court for culpable homicide and criminal conspiracy.
He said:
“The Plateau State Police Command, in its
resolve to rid the state of crime and criminal
activities, has arrested some murder suspects
and other individuals for various offences
ranging from criminal conspiracy to armed
robbery and car snatching.
May 2, 2015, at Doruwa Vwang village in
Shendam Local Government Area of the state,
one Ponjue Domsing killed his father, Mr.
Domsing, for refusing to buy a motorcycle for
him as promised. The investigation has been
completed and the suspect will soon appear in
court when court resumes from strike.
Also on May 4, 2015, there was a report from
