A Chinese man has cut off one of the right fingers of his Nigerian colleague, reports say.
Njaga Chang had reportedly aimed for Nsikak Tommy’s head with a machete, but the later blocked the blow with his right hand. He lost one of his fingers in the process.
Tommy
got on the wrong side of his Chinese colleague ‘for failing to quickly
turn on the generator’ after public power was interrupted.
According
to reports, Chang then flew into a rage, mouthed unprintable words and
attacked Tommy, first with a water hose. As he took flight from the
assault, Chang gave him a chase with a machete, first deflating the
tyres of his motorcycle to prevent him from fleeing.
When
he caught up with his victim, he aimed the machete at Tommy’s head.
Instinctively, he raised his hand to block it and the machete came down,
neatly cutting off the finger and leaving him in a massive pool of
blood as he cried for help, a blogger reports.
After
the incident, owners of the Quarry, who also own two other quarries in
Akamkpa, Expanded and Fughou Quarries, rather than attend to Tommy,
ferried Chang to Calabar and had him hidden while workers at the quarry
managed to take Tommy to Bakor Medical Centre, Calabar.
The
police arrested and later released Chang on bail. This was confirmed by
the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Eluu, who said he
got confirmation from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the
Akamkpa division.
