How drunken Police Inspector cut off wife’s hand for not giving him money
Mrs Hauwa Shagari, a pregnant mother of three young children will not forget Saturday, 27th April 2024 in a hurry. She had woken up and set out for that day’s activities but before that day ended, she was admitted to hospital battling for her life. Her husband, Ibrahim Shagari, a Police Inspector had cut off her wrist and introduced her to a life of disability.
It Let me also use this medium to appreciate the Nigeria Police Force, Plateau State Command for swiftly arresting the perpetrator, and we hope they will use the same vigour in concluding the investigation so that justice is fully served, this will also serve as a warning to others that the long arm of the law will spare no one, regardless.”
Olivia Dazyam, the Chairperson of the Gender and Equal Opportunities Commission stressed, “Hauwa, a mother of three is currently seven months pregnant with the fourth child. The Commission is shocked that a man who ought to be a protector of not only his spouse but the generality of society has turned out to be a violator of the very law he swore to uphold.
“The Commission is calling on the Nigeria Police Force in Plateau State to rise above parochial sentiments and ensure the perpetrator faces the full wrath of the law. The Commission also wants the Police to note that the entire State is watching to see their reaction to this and other incidents of violations perpetrated by some men of the Force and the people of Plateau State are looking up to the law enforcement agency to do the needful and acquire justice for the oppressed.”
The Inspector was attached to a special squad known as SWAT. He was on special duty to the Bokkos and Mangu axis and only came back for a change in deployment and decided to go home to see his family.
The investigation has gone very far and he confessed to the crime, he was tried in the orderly room and some punishments have been recommended and sent to the AIG Zone 4 which has the power to review.
The Inspector has spent over 20 years as a Policeman and has taken training in emotional intelligence.
The State Commissioner of Police and the Police Officers Wives Association went to the hospital to see the woman. What he did is a big blow to the image of the Police.
