The police in Rivers State have arrested a 43-year-old woman identified as Gift for allegedly biting off the tip of her lover’s manhood during a domestic dispute in the Mile 3 area of Diobu, Port Harcourt.
The spokesperson of the state Command, Superintendent of Police Grace Iringe-Koko, revealed this on Friday.
“Investigation is ongoing,” Iringe-Koko said.
The incident happened on Thursday, causing consternation among the densely populated Bishop Okoye Street when news of the act emerged.
Neighbours revealed that the altercation began when Gift’s lover, identified only as Sunday, requested to have sex.
They said the lady turned down her lover’s request on the excuse that he was always using sex-enhancing drugs that made their encounters excessively prolonged.
An anonymous resident said, “Mr. Sunday became angry and allegedly descended on his female partner.
“In the process, Gift managed to get hold of the man’s manhood with her mouth and chop off the cap of the penis.”
He said the man’s screams attracted the the neighbours, some of whom attempted to mob the woman before police intervened.
“The cap of the man’s penis was completely bitten off by the woman,” the source added.
The Nkpolu Police Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, rescued Goft and took her into custody.
The victim, Sunday, was rushed to an undisclosed hospital in the city for urgent medical attention.
