A 26-year old man, Ehis Evboramen, has been arrested for chopping off the ear of an official of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps during a fight.
Ehis who was paraded at the police headquarters in Edo State was being questioned by NSCDC officials for returning home late when the fight broke out.
He was said to have chopped off the ear with his teeth.
The suspect however said he did it out of self defence because he was being attacked by three officials.
His words, “They stopped me and they didn’t see anything on me. They used something to cut my hand. Three of them fought me. They held me that I was coming back at 11:42pm.
“They said I should join them and do security work with them. I sat down and before I know what was happening, one of them slapped me. They took me to their head and he said they should give me my belongings. They brought only phone without my money, that was what led to my chopping off the ear of one of them.”
State Police Commissioner, Haliru Gwandu, said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
