SUICIDE ATTEMPT: MAN CUTS OFF OWN PENIS

In an apparent suicide attempt, a 67-year-old man, Usmanu Umaru, has used a sharp knife to cut his penis while alone in his room.
The bizarre incident took place at Kofar Dindi neighborhood in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday evening.

“Actually, we did not know why and for what reason he cut his private part. What actually happened is that my uncle was sick and lying in his room. We just heard his wife screaming in their room and when we rushed in, we met him holding a knife and in a pool of blood; so we rushed him to Federal Medical Centre to save his life because he lost a lot of blood,” he said.

Some residents who live in the same residence with the victim said that he was mentally unstable but others said he confessed to cutting his penis because he was stricken by poverty.
