A bizarre incidence occurred in Alapa, Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State as a 35-year-old man identified as Wahab Sa’adu, severed his manhood with a razor blade. 

It was gathered that the victim, who is a fashion designer, carried out the grievous act last Monday. 

According to a family source, the victim rushed back home after he had chopped off his penis at a nearby bush.

He said, “We were at home preparing for the day’s work when Sa’adu came in with part of his manhood in his hand with blood stain all over his trouser.

“His loud cry drew attention of people in the neighbourhood to our house and everyone was shocked to see what had happened.

The victim’s father was said to have fainted on sighting the severed part of his son’s manhood.

It was learnt that the victim was first taken to a private clinic at Alapa for first aid treatment and later referred to a private hospital in Tanke Ilorin, the state capital.

Narrating his ordeal to National Pilot on his hospital bed last Thursday, Sa’adu attributed his misfortune to “handiwork of witches,” who hypnotised him in the dream.

He said, “Prior to the incident, I had a dream in which three unidentified women appeared to me and ordered that I drink battery acid, which I did the following morning without the knowledge of anyone.”

“Three days after, I had another dream, where the same women  ordered me to wake up and cut off my penis. It was after cutting it off that I regained consciousness. So I rushed for immediate remedy,” he narrated.

Also speaking with our reporter, one of the victim’s wives who didn’t want her name in print, said, she had accepted her fate because their marriage had produced four issues including twins.
