A 23-year-old woman allegedly had her fingers slashed by her father on Monday for talking to a gentleman in Sanso, a suburb of Obuasi in the Ashanti region. Safia Alidu said the gentleman, who she had never known, beckoned her to come for a chat and just as they stood to talk, her father, whose name she gave as Halidu, met them, went into the house and came back with a knife. Safia, who has refused to seek medical attention, in an interview with XYZ News said her father mercilessly slashed her three fingers to the amazement of both she and the gentleman. �Last night I was going to auntie�s place when a gentleman I don�t even know called me to talk to me. My father later called me and asked me where I was and I told him I was standing by the tap. �He later came out from the house with a knife in his hand and started to slash me with it�.
