Nigerian man gunned down by Malaysian police over machete attack on officer
A Nigerian man residing in Malaysia, identified as Chibuzo, was shot and killed by police after allegedly attacking an officer with a machete, resulting in severe injuries.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, November 11, at a residence in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, according to local authorities. A video circulating online purportedly shows the suspect attacking police officers with the weapon, during which one officer sustained a severed wrist while attempting to defend himself.
Malaysia’s Police Chief, Datuk Shazeli Kahar, reported that the injured officer was quickly transported to a hospital, where he is currently in stable condition and undergoing surgery to reattach his severed hand.
Chief Kahar stated that the confrontation began when police attempted to arrest Chibuzo, at which point he allegedly attacked the officers, prompting them to return fire.
In response to the incident, a team of police officers, along with personnel from the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department and the Health Ministry, was dispatched to the scene to manage the situation.
