The Rivers State Police Command has apprehended a 43-year-old female suspect, identified as one Gift (surname withheld), in connection with an incident involving the alleged mutilation of her intimate partner’s genitalia during a domestic altercation.
The event, which transpired on Thursday in the Mile 3 axis of Diobu, Port Harcourt—specifically along Bishop Okoye Street—has reportedly caused considerable public alarm.
According to preliminary witness accounts, the dispute ensued when the male party, identified as one Sunday (surname withheld), made a request for sexual intercourse. The suspect is alleged to have declined the request, asserting that the complainant frequently ingested sex-enhancing substances, thereby rendering their encounters unduly prolonged and, by implication, distressing.
A local resident, who requested anonymity, informed our correspondent that the male individual, Mr. Sunday, allegedly became enraged following the suspect’s refusal to engage in sexual activity.
In the course of the ensuing physical altercation, the female suspect, Gift, purportedly seized the complainant’s genitalia with her mouth and proceeded to sever the distal portion of his penis.
The source further stated that the distal portion of the male complainant’s penis was entirely severed by the suspect through biting.
Subsequent to the incident, the suspect, identified as Gift, was apprehended by officers of the Nkpolu Police Division under the supervision of the Divisional Police Officer and was taken into custody.
The victim, identified as Sunday, was immediately transported to a medical facility within the city for urgent and necessary medical treatment.
Upon inquiry, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Superintendent of Police Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the occurrence of the incident on Friday.
“Yes, I hereby confirm the incident. The suspect, a 43-year-old female, has been arrested and the matter remains under active investigation,” stated Superintendent Iringe-Koko.#newsafro_
