An 18-year-old house wife (name withheld) in Potiskum, Yobe, has allegedly cut off her husband’s manhood. SP Dungus Abdulkarim, the Spokesman of the Police Command in the state, disclosed this in a statement in Damaturu on Saturday. Abdulkarim said the suspect, who was at large, used a sharp knife to mutilate her husband’s organ and fled the scene of the crime. Abdulkarim said the state Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Ado, strongly condemned the crime and emphasised that marriage should be built on mutual respect, understanding, patience, and tolerance. “Marriage must never be an avenue for violence, abuse, or humiliation,” the police spokesman quoted the commissioner as saying.
