Nigerian Man Shot Dead by Police After Machete Attack

A Nigerian man was shot dead by Malaysian police in the Desa Amanpuri area of Kepong after allegedly attacking police officers with two machetes. The incident occurred around 7pm on Wednesday when authorities responded to a complaint about the man's aggressive behavior.

Upon opening the door, the suspect attacked the responding team, injuring a 26-year-old lance corporal who lost his right hand and sustained head injuries. The officer was taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where doctors successfully reattached his hand during surgery.

After fleeing the scene, the suspect was located near a playground at about 8pm and attempted to attack the police again, prompting them to shoot him in self-defense. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

Selangor Police Chief, Commissioner Shazeli Kahar, confirmed the details, while Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, condemned the attack on security personnel and called for firm action against such criminal acts.
