A Nigerian man has been shot dead in Malaysia after he allegedly went on a rampage and charged at police officers with two machetes.
The man, identified as Osondu Chika Wisdom, was alleged to be a member of a cult group.
On Wednesday, November 11, he reportedly went on a rampage in Kepong, Malaysia, destroying cars and properties.
Police were called to the scene, and as they waited outside his door, he charged at them with two machetes and allegedly chopped off the hand of one of the officers.
It is alleged that he was addicted to an illegal substance, which affected his mental health and contributed to his violent behaviour. He was reportedly known for attacking people, including Malaysian residents and other Africans living in the area.
Following repeated violence from him, Nigerians in the area petitioned the Nigerian Embassy in Malaysia and the Malaysian police for intervention. The embassy subsequently wrote to the Malaysian police requesting action on the matter.
When the police arrived on November 11, he charged at them and injured one officer terribly.
The Malaysian police officers retreated and stayed downstairs, waiting for backup, while Chika stayed upstairs with his machetes and dared them to approach him.
Eventually, backup arrived and they shot him dead.
Photos of his body are circulating across social media.
