Kano man cuts off own finger after alleged N80m offer

In Kano State, a young man reportedly severed one of his fingers after allegedly being offered N80 million to provide a finger from a living person, according to the Kano State Police Command. The incident came to light through a series of posts on the police spokesperson's official Facebook page. The man reportedly approached a police station to file a complaint, claiming that someone had offered him the substantial sum to procure a human finger.

After being unable to find another willing donor, the man allegedly used a knife to amputate his own finger and handed it over to the alleged offeror. However, the man later informed the police that the person who made the offer had refused to pay the promised N80 million. The suspect was subsequently arrested and is being held at the Kano State Police Command headquarters in Bompai.

The individual who received the body part reportedly stated to investigators that he did not request a human finger, but rather the forearm bone of a living person. Authorities have recovered the severed finger, and an ongoing investigation is probing the circumstances surrounding this peculiar incident.
