Man ‘deals with’ neighbour’s manhood in fight over potty

24-year-old Okechukwu Chiagba sustained a gory tear on his manhood following a scuffle with 41-year-old Michael Essien, a Calabar, Cross River State indigene, after an argument over use of a chamber pot.

The victim who is now receiving treatment at a hospital said he sustained the injury at his face-me-I-face-you apartment located in Shasha, Egbeda Lagos.

“That night, my wife went out to use the toilet. We normally use potties. But when she got to where she put her potty, she could not find it.” Chiagba said.

Continuing, he added that; “She came back to ask me but I told her I had not seen it. She went outside to look for it and that was when she saw our neighbour (Essien) coming out of the toilet with it.

“My wife came back to report to me. I was preparing to go out and challenge the man for using my wife’s potty when my wife cautioned me not to go. She said she would prefer to go and meet the man’s wife and talk to her. I agreed and let the matter go.”

Chiagba said when he came back from work that morning, he saw the potty at their entrance, even though it wasn’t kept there as usual and asked who kept the potty at their door mouth.

“I picked the potty and put it under the staircase where we usually kept it. When I was returning it, Essien blocked my way and said I should not put it there again, I asked why and he said because my wife was accusing him of using the plastic.” Chiagba said.

Continuing, Chiagba added that; “I told him that if my wife really accused him, all he needed was to deny or ignore her that he really did not use it. I tried to go past him and put the potty there but he pushed me to the ground. We were about to fight when neighbours separated us.

“I went inside and sat down. Later, I went to put on a boxer and sat outside to take fresh air. I was receiving a call when I heard ‘I will surprise you today. I will show you today.’ I turned around just in time to catch him as he rushed at me.

“We were fighting when he grabbed my manhood and held on to it so tightly that I fell down and fainted. I think he did not know that I had actually fainted because I was told he still held on to it even when I had passed out. I learnt that it took three men in the compound to force him to let go.”

After the deed was done, Chiagba’s assailant realised how serious his injuries were as he writhed in pain and quickly rushed him to a hospital where his manhood was stitched and drip administered on him.

Essien, the suspect was later arrested by policemen from the Egbeda Police Division, Lagos, and has been charged before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, for assault and battery.
