A 30-year-old man, Ejike is lying in critical condition in a private
hospital in Nkpor near Onitsha after cutting off his manhood with a
knife. According to sources, Ejike, from Nkwelle Uke community in
Idemili South Local Government Area of the state, was a luxurious bus
conductor based in Onitsha until he returned to the village recently.
He allegedly visited the village shrine and invoked the spirit of the
diety before taking away kolanuts offered to the gods and from that
moment, began to manifest strange signs.
It was gathered that last weekend, Ejike took a knife, cut off his
penis and scrotum, and a strange dog suddenly appeared and ran away with
the severed genitals. Family members were said to have rushed him to
the hospital immediately.
When Daily Sun visited the hospital yesterday, Ejike’s private parts
were completely bandaged while a catheter was fixed from the region
where he passes urine.
Though he refused to talk to the reporter, he was furious when her
sister arrived with his aged father. He blurted out, saying he took the
action in protest so that the family would know that he was not joking
when he said he would cut his penis. Scores of visitors in the hospital
also said he had threatened to cut off his manhood in the past because
his penis had disappointed him several times.
But the elder sister who was attending to him in the hospital told
Daily Sun that he acted under the influence of evil forces. She said
that no man in his right senses would slice his manhood, adding that the
family wass shattered by his action.
The Chief Medical Director, Crown Hospital Nkpor, Dr. Eddy Emegoaku
confirmed that Ejike’s case was critical but declined further comments
on his medical condition.
