A newly wedded housewife, Habiba Ibrahim is in Police net, for allegedly chopping the manhood of her 40-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, while he was asleep in the morning after returning from morning prayers.
Salisu Idris, a commercial motorcycle rider and resident of Kudan in Kaduna State, told New Nigerian yesterday, that the incident happened on May 26 after he returned from the early morning prayers.
According to him, he 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 it was his neighbours who came to his rescue when they heard him shouting.
“We got married about four months ago, and i was shocked by my wife’s action because we loved ourselves and there was no prior misunderstanding before the attack”.
Idris was rushed to a hospital in Kudan from where he was referred to the General Hospital Makarfi, and later taken to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Shika, Zaria, where doctors saved his life.
“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, who looks after him on the hospital bed, said that he had never complained to her about his wife.
“Her parents are worried and are willing to settle all the medical bills incured,” she added.
All efforts to speak to doctors on Idris’ condition failed as they declined to talk.
The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansur Hassan, could not be reached for comments on the incident.
