The people of Dafe village, a Gbagyi community in Shiroro local government area of Niger State, were terrified when a 17-year-old housewife, Bara’atu Muhammad cut-off the genitals of her 23-day-old stepson, Buhari Muhammad, spurred by jealousy.
Information was gathered that the boy’s father, Muhammadu Dauda married Buhari’s mother seven years ago and he is the first child of the union. He married Bara’atu just four months ago. They all hail from Dafe village decided to do that in retaliation to insults (I’ve been receiving) from his mother. She has been insulting me,” she explained. “Anytime I complained to our husband, he will not take action. That was the major reason I used our kitchen knife to cut off his penis.”
The husband, Muhammad Dauda denied that Buhari’s mother, Basira was in the habit of insulting Bara’atu, adding that the offending wife never reported Basira to him and that as far as he was concerned they were living in peace.
The infant is still in critical condition is undergoing treatment at IBB Specialist Hospital, Minna.
Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi who is taking care of the boy at said his penis has already been damaged and shrunken and that there was no way that it can be transplanted to its normal position.
He said the medic will however, try their best to ensure that Buhari survives and lives a normal life.
Meanwhile, the Niger State government has promised to take care of Buhari’s medical bills
The man is an As*, I’m very sure the first wife complained to him, he’s just lying. His negligence led to this ordeal.
If you can’t handle two wives, why the hell did you dive into the pool of polygamy.
