Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A 50-year-old man, Modu Isa, has been rescued after attempting to take his own life in Bama, Borno State.<\/p>\n

The incident was made known by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst, in a post on his X handle on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Makama disclosed that the incident, which occurred on Friday evening at Hausari Ward, was reported by community members who rushed to his aid.<\/p>\n

According to the report, witnesses narrated that Isa stabbed himself three times in the stomach before cutting off his penis with a knife.<\/p>\n

He was said to have carried out the act because his former wife, Bayanxe Modu of Konduga, whom he had divorced three times, refused to return to his house.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was gathered that police led a patrol team to the scene, recovered the knife as an exhibit, and evacuated the victim to General Hospital, Bama, where he is responding to treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSources said the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Maiduguri, for further investigation,\u201d Makama said.<\/p>\n
