Makama disclosed that the incident, which occurred on Friday evening at Hausari Ward, was reported by community members who rushed to his aid.
Modu Isa, a 50-year-old Nigerian man, has been rescued after he attempted to take his own life in Bama, Borno State.
The incident was made known by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst, in a post on his X handle on Saturday.
Makama disclosed that the incident, which occurred on Friday evening at Hausari Ward, was reported by community members who rushed to his aid.
According to the report, witnesses narrated that Isa stabbed himself three times in the stomach before cutting off his p*nis with a knife.
He was said to have carried out the act because his former wife, Bayanxe Modu of Konduga, whom he had divorced three times, refused to return to his house.
“It was gathered that police led a patrol team to the scene, recovered the knife as an exhibit, and evacuated the victim to General Hospital, Bama, where he is responding to treatment.
“Sources said the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Maiduguri, for further investigation,” Makama said.
