Some yet-to-be-identified armed robbers have been declared wanted by the Adamawa State Police Command after they were said to have invaded the home of a Point of Sales (POS) operator, became angry because they didn’t find any money on him and went ahead to cut one of his hands.
The command announced the incident in a statement on Friday night, as it added that the man, whose name was given as Akwarakiram Abel, aged 25 years, was attacked at his residence at Sabon Pegi, Ngurore, Yola South Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the family members of the man reported at the police station that on Friday, November 21, between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., the yet-to-be-identified men armed themselves with offensive weapons invaded the victim’s residence, attacked him and demanded for money from him.
However, because he was unable to provide the money they requested for, they were said to have inflicted severe injuries on the victim using a cutlass, cutting his hand in the process before they left the house.
He was reportedly rushed to the hospital with the help of his neighbour and he is currently receiving treatment at the undisclosed hospital while the command said a manhunt had been launched for the robbers who committed the heinous act.
“The Commissioner of Police assured that a comprehensive investigation will be carried out to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators and to guarantee that justice is served without delay,” the command stated.
