  "account": "A Nigerian man was shot dead by Malaysian police after allegedly severing a police officer's right hand during an attack at an apartment in Desa Amanpuri, Kepong. According to The Star, the suspect entered the scene armed with two machetes and confronted police officers, firefighters, and health ministry staff around 7 pm on Wednesday. Datuk Kahar, a police chief in Malaysia, confirmed that the suspect was shot after he was seen near a playground close to the apartment, shortly after injuring a policeman. The suspect allegedly attacked the officers again, leading to several shots being fired in self-defense. The 26-year-old Nigerian, identified as Chika Wisdom Osondu, was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. He was reportedly in stable condition and undergoing surgery at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, as his right hand had been severed during the attack.",
