Tragedy struck in Bama, Borno State, after a 50-year-old man, identified as Modu Isa, attempted to take his own life in a bizarre manner following a marital dispute with his estranged wife.The incident occurred on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Hausari Ward, when Isa reportedly stabbed himself multiple times in the stomach before severing his genitals with a knife.
According to eyewitnesses who rushed to the scene, Isa had been distressed after his former wife, Bayanxe Modu of Konduga, whom he had divorced three times, declined his request to return to his home.
“He said if Bayanxe cannot have him, then his manhood should go too,” a shocked neighbor recounted, adding that the community was left traumatized by the disturbing act.
Security operatives, led by a police patrol team, swiftly responded to distress calls, recovered the bloodstained knife used in the attempt, and evacuated the victim to General Hospital, Bama.
In what doctors have described as a rare medical feat, surgeons at the hospital successfully performed an emergency procedure to reattach the man’s severed organ. Medical sources confirmed that Isa is alive and responding well to treatment.
Meanwhile, security authorities have confirmed that the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Maiduguri for further investigation.
