A young man in Kano State has reportedly cut off one of his fingers after allegedly being offered N80 million to provide a body part from a living person.
The incident was disclosed by the spokesperson of the Kano State Police Command in a series of posts shared on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to the police, the man went to a police station and reported that someone had offered him N80 million to provide a human finger.
The man allegedly told the police that after he could not find anyone willing to give up a finger, he decided to cut off his own finger with a knife and gave it to the person who made the offer.

The suspect reportedly told investigators that he did not request a human finger but had asked for the bone from the forearm of a living person.
Police said the severed finger was recovered as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the bizarre incident.
