CITIZENS COMPASS –A newlywed bride, Habiba Ibrahim, has allegedly cut off her husband’s manhood in Kaduna State.
The groom, Salisu Idris,, was 40 years old when he got married.
The suspect is being interrogated by the Kaduna State Police Command.
The sad incident occurred on Tuesday, May 26, 2024, after the husband returned from an early morning Muslim prayer in a mosque.
Narrating his ordeal, Idris, who’s a commercial motorcyclist, explained that as he was lying on his bed, his wife suddenly pounced on him with a sharp knife and almost cut off his manhood.
He, however, said that for the timely intervention of his neighbour, Habiba, who he married four years ago, would have succeeded in cutting off his manhood completely.
He said he was shocked by his wife’s action.
He claimed there was no misunderstanding before his wife’s action.
It was gathered that Idris was immediately rushed to General Hospital, Makarfi from where he was later referred to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria for medical attention.
“I’m more concerned about my health right now and not thinking of remarrying shortly,” he said.
It was gathered that Idris’ mother, Rabi Salisu, who looks after him on the hospital bed, said he had never complained to her about his wife.
“Her parents are worried and are willing to settle his medical bills,” she added.
The Kaduna State Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansur Hassan, could not be reached for comments as his telephone indicated that he wasn’t reachable.
