A 35-year-old man, Yinka Offehin, is battling for his life
at a private hospital in Lagos State after his scrotum was
cut by the children of his landlady.
The Edo State indigene, who resides on Popoola Street,
off Abaranje Road in the Ikotun area of Lagos, was said to
have been attacked while sleeping in his room with his
family members.

His wife, Bisi, who was with him when the incident
happened, identified the assailants as Solomon and
Damilola, the children of the landlady.
She said, “On Thursday morning, around 3am, while we
were sleeping, we heard loud bangs on our door. We
initially thought they were armed robbers because the
house beside ours had recently been robbed.

“When they entered, we saw they were children of our
landlady. They began destroying our electronics and other
property.

“There were two of them. One held a knife in his hand.
They took N800, 000. They descended on my husband
and he also fought back. In that confusion, my husband
shouted and we saw that one of the attackers had cut
Yinka’s scrotum. I can’t say what they used to cut off my
husband’s scrotum.”

She added that her husband, though in pain, was able to
hold on to one of his attackers till dawn, while the other
fled the scene.
Bisi said her husband could not be admitted at a general
hospital because of the ongoing doctors’ strike, but was
eventually taken to a private hospital in the area.
When our correspondent visited the victim at the hospital,
he told newsmen the genesis of his problem was when he
had a misunderstanding with his landlady and was asked
to vacate his apartment.
“I was asked to leave the house immediately, but after the
intervention of the traditional ruler of the community, I
was asked to leave by the end of August.
“But that decision did not go down well with the children
of my landlady and they continued to make trouble with
me.

“I was already planning to leave their house and had even
contacted an agent when they attacked me without any
provocation. I want the government to fight for me,” he
said.

A doctor in the hospital, who pleaded anonymity, told our
correspondent that his patient would need up to three
months to recover.

He said, “We have stitched the area where the scrotum was
torn. It may take up to three months before it will heal. He
needs time to fully recover from the injury.”

A relative said the doctor told the family if the condition
did not improve, a surgery may not be ruled out.
It was learnt that about N60, 000 had already been spent
by the family.
The father of the suspects, a pastor, when contacted,
declined comment.
He said, “I am sorry; I can’t speak with you on this matter.
You know the matter is already with the police and those
they accused of committing the offence are in the police
cell. So, what do you want me to say? I was told they are
taking the matter to court. Let’s leave everything to God.”
Our correspondent learnt that the case was reported at the
Ikotun Police Division.

A source told our correspondent that a member of the
suspects’ family had on the morning of the incident
reported a case of armed attack on them by a tenant.

The wife of the victim, who met the relative at the station,
reportedly expressed surprise, telling the officers the
reverse was the case.

It was learnt that the relative was put behind the counter
after the police saw the victim’s injuries.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide,
confirmed the incident.

She said, “It was around 3am, while the victim was
sleeping in his room, that one Solomon Olowogbemi and
Damilola Olayeye, the children of his landlady, came in
and started fighting with him.

“In the process, they inflicted injury on him with an
unknown object. The skin of his scrotum was partly cut
off, thereby exposing one of his testicles. The two
suspects have been arrested and detained and the victim
taken to a hospital.”
