A group of armed bandits invaded the Kakuru community, in Erena Ward, in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State where they brutalised a blind man and severed his right hand after taking a mobile phone from him.

According to Channels Television, the attackers, who arrived at about 8:00 am on Wednesday, met only the visually impaired man at home, as other residents had gone to their farms.

The victim reportedly explained that the phone did not belong to him but to a neighbour who had gone to the farm. 

The bandits, angered by his response, seized the phone and amputated his right hand. 

He is currently receiving first aid at a patent medicine shop in the Kuduru community.
