The woman who cut off her husband's p*nis has been revealed to be Halima Umar, a 32-year old housewife.

The incident occurred on July 1 in Tella, a village in Gassol local government area of Taraba state.

The victim, Aliyu Umar, is said to have been drugged before he went to bed at night. This was why the wife could cut his p*nis without any resistance.

This is according to the victim's younger brother, Usman Umar, who said that the wife was troublesome to her husband.

"Halima had continued to engage my brother and his new wife in fights since their marriage about three years ago," he said.

The victim was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo, and later transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Gombe.

According to Dr Penking who shared the news, "His penis can't be re-attached because it "died off" so to speak before it could get to the hospital. This man will not be able to have sex for the rest of his life. This man will be urinating via a catheter(a rubber tube passed into his bladder) for the rest of his life".

Halima has since been arrested and taken to the police divisional headquarters in Mutum-Biyu in Gassol local government.

She has a son and currently 8 months pregnant.
