An 18-year-old man has been arraigned for biting off the tip of a man’s finger in Adamawa State whom he accused of staring at his mother.

The boy, his mother and the victim are all from Mairawani in Jambutu, Yola North LGA.

Dailypost learnt that the victim was on his way out of his apartment on Sunday, December 4, when he ran into Aliyu Adamu and his mother.

When Aliyu, turning round and noticing Yautai staring at his mother, challenged the middle-aged man and without waiting for any answer, rained insults on him, leading to physical exchanges that resulted in him biting off the tip of Yautai’s right forefinger.
