Nigerian Shot Dead After Cutting Off Policeman’s Hand In Malaysia
A Nigerian man has reportedly been shot dead by Malaysian police after allegedly attacking a police officer with a machete and severing his right wrist during a violent confrontation in Kepong, Malaysia.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Desa Aman Puri, after authorities reportedly received complaints about the man’s aggressive behaviour.
According to reports, police officers, firefighters and Health Ministry personnel were dispatched to the residential apartment to manage the situation.
However, the suspect allegedly emerged armed with two machetes and attacked the responding personnel, seriously injuring a 26-year-old police officer.
After fleeing the scene, the man was reportedly located near a playground. He allegedly attacked officers again when they attempted to arrest him, prompting them to open fire.
The Nigerian man was rushed to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, doctors reportedly succeeded in reattaching the injured officer’s severed hand, with the officer said to be in stable condition.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemned the attack, describing violence against law enforcement personnel as unacceptable.
