A man in his late 20s is writhing in pains at a Lagos hospital
after his live-in-lover nearly bite off his manhood for bringing
another woman into their home.
The young man, identified as Femi Sunday from Badagry area,
is under sedation at Milla Hospital, Awodura, Ajegunle while
the woman escaped being lynched by a mob having been rescued
by policemen from Ajeromi Police Station.
According to neighbours who witnessed the early morning bizarre
act, the woman, in her late 30s used her teeth to bite Sunday’s
manhood during the fight.
Daily Sun gathered that the woman, identified as Josephine,
had travelled to seek medical care for an undisclosed ailment
and returned three weeks ago to find that Sunday had brought
another woman, named Anita, into the one-room apartment on
60, James Igbe Road, Ajegunle.
It was gathered that the the woman did not make trouble for
three weeks, until Sunday made an uncomplimentary remark about
her on Monday.
Anita told Daily Sun that after she massaged Sunday, who had
taken ill, the man reportedly thanked her remarking that if
not for her (Anita) nobody would have been around to take
care of him, as Josephine was always travelling.
Unknown to the couple, Josephine, who was eavesdropping, over-heard
them and barged into the room.
An altercation ensued in which Sunday derisively called Josephine
a barren woman, as she had not given him a child.
This led to a fight, in which the man was said to have had
upper hand. Subjected to severe beating, Josephine allegedly
went for Sunday’s genitals with her teeth and almost
bit it off. The lover boy reportedly slumped, making neighbours
and passers-by attracted to the scene by his shouts and cry
of agony to think he was dead.
He was immediately taken to the nearby Milla Hospital for
treatment.
A mob nearly lynched Josephine, but she was saved by policemen
who took her away for interrogation.
An eyewitness, Henry, told Daily Sun that Josephine claimed
she rehabilitated Sunday and moved him from Makoko to her
house in Awodura and was not happy being dumped.
According to Obioma, Josephine alleged that his live-in-lover
and the other woman stole her undisclosed amount of money
which further compounded the situation.
Anita, on her part, told Daily Sun: "Sunday made the
mistake of calling her (Josephine) a barren woman which resulted
in a fight that nearly cost him his life."
At the Ajeromi Police Station, where Josephine was being held,
the divisional police officer refused to comment on the issue,
but referred our correspondents to the police public relations
officer at Ikeja.
