Doctors at the General Hospital, Bama, Borno State, have reportedly reattached the penis of a man who tried to end his life by cutting it off with a kitchen knife.
The victim, 50-year-old Modu Isa from Hausari Ward, stunned his neighborhood on Friday when, after stabbing himself three times in the stomach and decided his manhood had no purpose without his estranged wife, Bayanxe Modu, who had refused to reconcile with him.
“He said if Bayanxe cannot have him, then his private part too must go,” a neighbour recounted, still visibly shaken by the ordeal.
According to a report by security analyst Zagozola Makama, medical personnel rushed Isa into surgery, performing an emergency operation to reattach his severed organ.
Hospital sources confirmed that the penis has been successfully restored and is “alive and responding to treatment.”
Security officials have since transferred the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Maiduguri.
