A newlywed woman, Habiba Ibrahim, has reportedly cut the manhood of her 40-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, while he was asleep.
She was said to have been arrested by the police.
Idris, a commercial motorcycle rider and resident of Kudan in Kaduna State, said the incident happened on May 26 after he returned from the early morning prayers.
He said was lying on his bed to have some rest when his wife suddenly jumped on him with a sharp knife and almost cut off his manhood, but for neighbours who came to his rescue when they heard him shout.
Idris said they got married about four months ago,
He pointed out that he was shocked by his wife’s action because they loved each other and there was no prior misunderstanding before the attack.
He was later taken to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria where doctors battled to save his life.
Attempts to speak to doctors on Idris’ condition were not successful
The Kaduna State Police Public Relations officer, ASP Mansur Hassan, could not be reached for comments on the incident
