Nine-month-old Buhari Muhammad, whose genital was cut off
by his step-mother, has undergone first corrective surgery at
the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, Niger.
Mrs Mariam Kolo, the Director-General of the state Child
Rights Protection Agency, made this known in an interview
with newsmen in Minna on Friday.
Kolo told journalists that the surgery was part of the series of
operations that the boy would undergo.
“He was operated upon by four neurologists and he is
responding to treatment. “Several other tests will still be
conducted to prepare him for the next operation,’’ Kolo said.
Newsmen recall that Muhammad’s genital was cut off by his
17-year-old step mother, Bara’atu Muhammad, when he was
barely a month old.
The incident occurred in Dafe community in Shiroro Local
Government Area of Niger in June 2016.
The step-mother had confessed that she took the action
because she was jealous and that she also wanted to get
back at the victim’s mother, whom, she claimed was always
insulting her. Muhammad was subsequently remanded in
Minna prison.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, told
journalists that the suspect was still in Minna Prison, pending
the conclusion of investigations.
“Under the Police Criminal Law, the suspect is an adult, she is
above seven years; therefore, she can be convicted and
hanged for the offence,” Elkana said.
