Narrating what led to the unfortunate incident, Yinkas wife, Bisi Offehin saidcontinue

On Thursdaymorning, around3am, 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 Yinkas scrotum. I cant say what they used to cut off my husbands scrotum.

She said even in so much pain, her husband was able to hold on to one of his attackers till dawn, while the other fled the scene.

Offehin, while narrating what led to the attack, said;

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.

Doctors at the hospital where he is being treated say they have stitched the scrotum but that the wound would take up to three months to heal. Family sources say they have spent over N60,000 for his treatment and that they have been told by doctors that if the wound does not heal, he might have to undergo a surgery.

When contacted, father of the suspects who is a pastor asked that the matter be left for God to decide as both suspects are now in police cell

I am sorry; I cant 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. Lets leave everything to God. he said

The Lagos state Police spokeswoman who confirmed the incident said both suspects are currently in police custody

It was around3am, 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. she said
