An Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, on Friday, remanded a 67-year-old fish farmer, Jeremiah Obrifor, in prison custody for cutting off the right hand of an 11-year-old boy, Goodluck Amaechi.
The presiding magistrate, Mrs A.O. Komolafe, ordered that the farmer should be kept behind bars pending when he would be able to perfect his bail conditions. Obrifor, who lives in the Okokomaiko area of the state with the victim, on Friday June 7, chopped off Amaechi’s hand with a machete for allegedly attempting to steal fish in his (Obrifor’s) pond.
