A Taraba-based man, Aliyu Umaru, whose penis was cut off by his wife, has narrated his ordeal.
He said the woman, Halima, who is is second wife, did the deed while he was sleeping.
According to the 42-year-old now lying in hospital, she used a knife to cut it, with the possibility that she drugged er the previous night.
Umaru told ‘Sunday Punch’ in an interview at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe State, where he was referred to after the incident occurred in Taraba State:
“I’m a veterinary medicine dealer. I trade in animal drugs. I’m 42 years old with two wives and two children. The first wife had a male child and a female from the second. The first wife Halima is pregnant. I stay in Tella under Gasso LGA of Taraba State. I was transferred from the Federal Medical Centre, Taraba to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe.
“My wife chopped off my ‘bura’ (penis). It was then neighbours were alerted. I can’t say if my food or water was laced with anything with the way I slept deeply. My wife has finished my life and it is unfortunate.”
