A woman named Habiba Ibrahim has purportedly slashed the genitals of her 40-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, while he was sleeping.
The incident occurred on May 26, four months into the couple’s marriage.
According to DailyTrust, he said he was in bed when his wife suddenly attacked him with a sharp knife, and almost cut off his manhood.
Idris is a commercial motorcycle rider and resident of Kudan in Kaduna State.
He explained that he was shocked by his wife’s action because there was no misunderstanding before the attack.
Daily Trust reports that his wife has been arrested by the police. Idris was first taken to a hospital in Kudan from where he was referred to the General Hospital Makarfi.
He was later taken to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria where doctors battled to save his life.
Idris said, “At the moment, I am more concerned about my condition. I am afraid of remarrying because of this incident,” he said.
Idris’ mother, Rabi Salisu, said her daughter-in-law’s parents were “worried” and were “willing to settle” her son’s medical bills.
