A 67 year-old man, Usmanu Umaru, has reportedly cut off his manhood with a knife in his apartment at Kofar Dindi neighborhood in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
According to Leadership, the victim’s nephew, in a statement, said his uncle inflicted the cut on himself for reasons no one could ascertain.
“My uncle was sick and lying in his room. We just heard his wife screaming and when we rushed in, we met him holding a long knife and in a pool of his own blood.
“We then rushed him to Federal Medical Centre (FMC) to save his life because he lost a lot of blood,” the nephew said.
“Actually, we did not know why and for what reason he cut his private part and now we need a huge sum for the operation.”
The victim was reportedly admitted at the Male Surgical Ward 3, FMC, Birnin Kebbi.
“The doctors confirmed that Umaru is presently receiving treatment but in a state of coma.
Some residents alleged he was mentally unstable and others said he may have inflicted the cut on himself because he was tired of living in abject poverty and wanted to commit suicide to end it all.
According to them, the victim had always talked about ending it all.
