It’s sad my wife ended my life this way — Taraba man whose spouse cut off his manhood
Tuesday,
June 30, 2020, is a day 42-year-old old Aliyu Umaru will not forget in a
hurry. It was the day Halima, the first wife of Umaru, severed his
manhood with a knife.
He groaned in pains as he lay on a bed at
the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe State, where he was referred to
after the incident occurred in Taraba State.
Umaru said,
“I’m a
veterinary medicine dealer. I trade in animal drugs. I’m 42 years old
with two wives and two children. The first wife had a male child and a
female from the second. The first wife Halima is pregnant. I stay in
Tella under Gasso LGA of Taraba State. I was transferred from the
Federal Medical Centre, Taraba to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe.”
When
our correspondent visited the hospital, the victim cut a pitiable sight
and urethra catheter fixed to his body to pass urine as his detached
manhood was kept in nylon for safekeeping.
Umaru narrated the incident in a sadness-coated voice,
“After
I returned from work, I got water to take my bath and ate the food
prepared by my wife before I slept. I was later awoken by a sharp pain
and I screamed.
“My wife chopped off my ‘bura’ (penis). It was
then neighbours were alerted. I can’t say if my food or water was laced
with anything with the way I slept deeply. My wife has finished my life
and it is unfortunate.”
Reports noted that Halima had been having issues with her husband and the younger wife before the incident.
According
to the victim’s younger brother, 40-year-old Usman, the act may not be
unconnected with their mum’s plea that they should relocate which Halima
didn’t support.
He stated that the second wife visited their
mother residing in Jalingo, the state capital, who urged them to
relocate to Jalingo.
Usman stated, “We are originally from Lukari
but driven to Tela due to the conflict. The family rented a house for
him and they were to move from Tela to Jalingo on Wednesday morning.
“It
was in the middle of the night that my phone rang and the caller was my
brother who managed to tell me what happened to him. He was immediately
taken to the Federal Medical Centre in Taraba, to stop the bleeding and
undergo surgery. But they couldn’t perform the surgery because they
said they don’t have equipment for his type of operation. It was there
that they advised us to look for any available health facility.”
He ruled out jealousy, adding that his brother was faithful to his two wives.
He
further said,”Our mum only insisted that my brother must leave Tela
with his family to Jalingo. Already, his second wife is in Jalingo. My
brother said his first wife was not comfortable with the arrangement.
She didn’t want to stay in Jalingo.
“We told people not to
touch her. The deed has been done and we can’t reverse it. We have left
her to the Almighty God. Whatever is done to her will not bring back my
brother’s manhood.’’
Appealing to well-meaning individuals to
assist his brother, he said, “We are underprivileged and begging
philanthropists to help us facilitate his pre-and post-surgery
treatment. Right now we are expected to pay about N100, 000 for the
procedure and medicine.”
Patient in stable condition
Head
of Department Accident and Emergency, Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe,
Dr. Nuhu Musa, noted that the patient would get adequate medical
attention.
Describing his department as the entry point for first-time patients, he added that the patient had been stabilised.
Nuhu
stated, “A specialist has reviewed the patient and we have discussed.
The patient will be moved to the theatre for operation. He is stable and
being properly administered with intravenous fluid as well as other
emergency drugs before the specialist came to see him. The surgery is
today (Thursday). They have booked it as an emergency case.
