A woman, Habiba Ibrahim, has reportedly cut the manhood of her 40-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, while he was asleep.
Habiba, who is newly wed, was said to have been arrested by the police.
It was gathered that the incident happened after he returned from the early morning prayers.
Idris, who is a commercial motorcycle rider and resident of Kudan in Kaduna State, was said to be lying on his bed when his wife suddenly jumped on him with a sharp knife and almost cut off his manhood.
However, his neighbours came to his rescue when they heard his screams.
Idris narrated that they got married about four months ago, saying that he could not fathom the reason for her action because they loved each other and there was no prior misunderstanding before the attack.
According to the report, Idris was rushed 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 are battling to save 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 though they were not staying in the same compound, he had never complained to her about his wife.
“Her parents are worried and are willing to settle his medical bills,” she added
