Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Alhaji Ismail Mohammed, a 30-year-old mason has lamented that he was attacked by armed bandits, who ended up cutting off his arms.<\/p>\n

Mohammed, an indigene of Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State narrated how he was attacked and his ordeal to DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

The victim explained that the bandits stormed his neighbourhood to steal goats, saying that he challenged them and the bandits believed that he was the owner of the goats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was returning from work to my home when I saw the hoodlums coming out of our house with our chickens. They had earlier entered the community and rustled our animals, some days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I approached them, I asked why they were stealing our chickens, but instead of talking to me, they left hurriedly. But unknown to me, that was the beginning of my ordeal with those hoodlums.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I approached the entrance of the house, I came face to face with a bandit who thought I was talking to him. I didn\u2019t know that the bandits were still around and they had rustled some goats.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin some minutes, another bandit surfaced with an AK47 rifle. He asked the other bandit what I had said and that one just lied that I was trying to challenge them. The one carrying a gun then asked his colleague, \u2018what are you waiting for?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second bandit just brought out a long knife and cut off my right arm. My brother was also attacked. One of the bandits hit my brother\u2019s head and he fell down. I think they thought he died, so they came back to continue their attack on me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the attack continued, I was praying very hard to God to let me survive the ordeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was all over but the other bandit brought out another sharp object and chopped off my other arm. They left me in a pool of my own blood and left.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they finally left, our neighbours came out and rushed me and my brother to the hospital,\u201d he narrated in tears.<\/p>\n

Mohammed commended the doctors, nurses and other staff of the hospital for taking good care of him, stressing that he was gradually getting better as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

\u201cI leave those who put me in this condition in the hand of Allah who is the ultimate judge. I have accepted my fate. There was nothing I could have done to prevent this. I am a Muslim and I believe in destiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am appealing to the State government to assist me with the provision of artificial arms. I would not like to be a liability to my immediate family and society. I want to be wearing my clothes by myself. I want to be able to do things by myself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
