The Zongo Divisional Police Command in Kumasi is on the hunt for Abubakari Sadiq, a young man who reportedly cut off one of his brother's hand over a disagreement at their residence.

Sadiq who is said to have been engaged in scuffle with his 29-year-old biological brother, Mubarak Umar, on May 15, 2016 at Sawaba, a suburb of Kumasi, managed to chop off Umar's left hand with a cutlass.

The victim was said to be on admission at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, while the police authorities were on the heels of the fugitive, who is believed to be hiding in the region.

According to a source, t appears to the law enforcers that the suspect had the intention to kill the victim, rather than the attack being a spontaneous action, as Sadiq allegedly targeted the victim’s head but missed it, Daily Guide reported.
