A man in Yei town has unsuccessfully chopped off his manhood after alleged misunderstands with his wife, according relatives.
The man, in his twenties, suffered a serious blow when the incident turned tragic, leaving him hospitalized on Thursday.
“The man is currently at Yei Civil Hospital undergoing surgical operation.You cannot imagine that a young man like that one can lose temper and chop off his manhood. We are trying our best to treat him,” a doctor told Radio Tamazuj.
Joice, a family member, told Radio Tamazuj that Abui had attempted to commit suicide on Thursday morning but was rescued by neighbors.
“We did not know what happened to him. We had some prayers in the house over his attempts to commit suicide. We only learnt that he locked himself into his house and decided to cut off his sensitive reproductive organs,” she said.
But a close friend to Abui who preferred anonymity said that the current economic crisis and rampant insecurity in Yei are believed to be the reason for Abui to chop off his manhood.
