A newlywed woman, Habiba Ibrahim, has reportedly cut the manhood of her 40-year-old husband, Salisu Idris, in the Kudan local government area of Kaduna State.
According to Daily Trust reports, the incident happened on May 26.
The victim, who is a commercial motorcycle rider, said he was lying on his bed to have some rest when his wife suddenly jumped on him with a sharp knife and almost cut off his manhood.
He said it took the intervention of neighbours who came to his rescue when they heard him shout.
Mr Idris, said that they got married about four months ago, adding that he could not fathom the reason for her action because they loved each other and there was no prior misunderstanding before the attack.
He was initially 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 battled 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.
Also speaking, Mr Idris’ mother, Rabi Salisu, who looks after him on the hospital bed, said that 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.
Although the suspect has been reportedly arrested by the police, the spokesperson of the Kaduna State Police command could not be reached for comment.
