A 67-year-old man, Usmanu Umaru, on Saturday, in a suspected suicide attempt, used a sharp knife to cut his penis while alone in his room in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
The victim’s nephew told LEADERSHIP that his uncle inflicted the cut on himself.
“Actually, we did not know why and for what reason he cut his private part. What actually happened is that my uncle was sick and lying in his room. We just heard his wife screaming in their room and when we rushed in, we met him holding a knife and in a pool of blood; so we rushed him to Federal Medical Centre to save his life because he lost a lot of blood,” he said.
The victim is presently receiving treatment but in a state of coma at FMC, Birnin Kebbi. His nephew said they need N37,000 for the operation.
Some residents who live in the same residence with the victim said that was mentally unstable but others said he confessed to cutting his penis because he was stricken by poverty.
