 Bandits Cut Off My Fingers During Attack – Kaduna Fisherman

A fisherman and father of four, Ibrahim Abubakar, has narrated how bandits cut off two of his fingers while he was trying to escape during an attack on his community in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State.

Abubakar told LEADERSHIP that the incident occurred between 1am and 2am on August 9, 2026, when the attackers invaded the community and carted away valuables.

“I woke up confused and started running for my life,” he said.

According to him, the bandits severed two of his fingers as he attempted to flee from the attackers.

The fisherman said he was still experiencing pain from the incident, adding that adjusting to life without the two fingers had been difficult.

Abubakar, who relies on fishing as his main source of income, explained that the injury had affected his ability to carry out his daily activities and earn a living.

He also expressed concern about providing for his four children while coping with the effects of the attack.

The victim said he needed medical attention to treat his injuries and reduce his suffering. However, he explained that the cost of treatment remained a major challenge.

Abubakar appealed to members of the public, well-meaning individuals and organisations to assist him financially so he could access the necessary medical care.
