Cyril, resident of the Victory Estate in Ejigbo Lagos
State, is going to live the rest of his life
with one hand after angry armed robbers cut off one of his limbs because they could get money from him when they visited.PM
Express reports that on the day of the incident, the victim had gone
for a vigil in his church and was returning early the next morning not
knowing that the robbers were trailing him As he entered the compound, the hoodlums accosted him and led him to his house which they searched but were disappointed that he did not have any useful thing for them to steal.
According
to the victim, he pleaded with the robbers that he was facing financial
challenges and had been praying to God to turn things for the better
for him and as such, did not have any money to give them
In
anger, Cyril narrated, one of the robbers pointed a gun at him and shot
at his hand which fell off, telling him that was his punishment for not
keeping anything in the house for them to steal.
“So
you don’t have anything and you are showing off. You suffered us all
this while we trailed you only to find nothing in your house,” the
victim said the robbers told him as they left him in a pool of blood
before neighbours rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH),
where doctors battled to save his life.
Police have confirmed the report but no arrest has been made.
