A man in Abia State who murdered his ex-lover and thereafter severed his own manhood explained before he died that he killed the woman and inflicted mortal wounds on himself because he couldn't live with the thought of his woman having a romance with another man.
A man in Abia State who murdered his ex-lover and thereafter severed his own manhood explained before he died that he killed the woman and inflicted mortal wounds on himself because he couldn't live with the thought of his woman having a romance with another man.
He was also said to have told security operatives that he cut off his own male organ to prevent him from sleeping with any other woman.
Goddy , a farmer residing in Onuiyagh Community in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State was said to have, in a fit of jealousy, murdered Agnes, his two-year live-in-lover after allegedly seeing her with her new lover. He was said to have subsequently cut off his own manhood and placed it on the lover's corpse.
"Now, you cannot have sex and I cannot have sex. We were meant for each other and you decided to leave me I cannot afford to see you have sex with another man and I don't want to have sex with another woman," the man reportedly told the lifeless Agnes.
After hacking the woman to death on a farm road, Goddy was said to have rushed to Bende Police Station to report himself. He was said to have bled to death shortly after showing up at the station.
Eyewitnesses told Daily Sun that Goddy had been living with Agnes for some years before disagreement set in between the two love birds.
Goddy had on the fateful day waylaid Agnes on the farm road and dealt several matchet blows on her which led to her instant death.
At the police station where he reported himself, help could not come quickly. After narrating his tale in pains while bleeding profusely, Goddy reportedly slumped and gave up the ghost.
Emeka Chimezie, who resides in Onuiyagh community said Goddy hailed from Afikpo in Ebonyi State, while Agnes, his lover, hailed from Edah in the same state.
According to Chimezie, Goddy was keeping another woman simply called Mrs Ojiegbe , who he had earlier allegedly snatched from her husband from a neigbouring community.
Said Chimezie: "At first, the three lovebirds were living together, having sex together and the two women were receiving favours from Goddy without complaints. Suddenly, there was a downturn in the fortunes of Goddy who could no longer satisfy the two women. This led to regular quarrels between the two women as who should have upper hand in bed and material gifts from their lover. However, Mrs. Ojiegbe who appeared stronger and bigger was always beating up Agnes who as a result, decided to go out instead of being beaten by Ojiegbe everyday.
"The development did not go down well with Goddy who was already used to sleeping with the two women every night. He begged her to come back and she refused. He threatened her and she remained undaunted. He then promised to teach her a lesson she would never forget."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ojiegbe is said to be on the run for fear of being arrested by the police.
Two years ago, a young man named Chinedu who lived in Bende Road in Umuahia reportedly also chopped off his own manhood after his involvement in a failed money making rituals. His alleged defence then was that a voice had told him to sever his organ as it was leading him into temptation.
