A 43-year-old woman simply identified as Gift has been arrested by the Rivers State police command for allegedly biting off the tip of her lover’s penis during a domestic dispute in the Mile 3 area of Diobu, Port Harcourt.
The sad incident, which occurred on Thursday, sent shockwaves across the heavily crowded Bishop Okoye Street when news of it broke.
According to sources, the altercation began when Gift’s lover, named only as Sunday, demanded sex.
Gift reportedly refused, accusing him of using sex-enhancing drugs, which made their encounters too long.
A resident who spoke on condition of anonymity said, ‘Mr Sunday became angry and allegedly descended on his female partner for her refusal.
‘In the process, Gift managed to get hold of the man’s manhood with her mouth and chop off the cap of the penis’.
The man’s screams apparently drew the attention of neighbours, who attempted to mob the woman before police arrived.
‘The cap of the man’s penis was completely bitten off by the woman’, the source added.
Officers from the Nkpolu Police Division, Rivers State, led by the Divisional Police Officer, rescued Gift and took him into custody.
On Sunday, the sufferer was taken to an unnamed hospital in the city for immediate medical care.
When reached, Rivers State Police Command spokesman Grace Iringe-Koko verified the occurrence on Friday.
‘Yes, I can confirm the incident. The woman (suspect) aged 43 years has been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing’, Iringe-Koko said.
