Man Who Severed Baby's Private Organ In Lagos Arrested With Decayed Penis

The State Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos State Police Command, has arrested a 27-year-old man, Lekan Adelaja, for allegedly cutting off the penis of his one-year-old nephew, Basheeru Akintoye. The police also arrested one Obinwanne Onukwo who was accused of sending Adelaja to carry out the dastardly act. You read HERE last week that Basheeru’s penis was cut off when his 20-year-old mother, Abidemi, went to a nearby uncompleted building to have sex with one Fatai who was a friend to her husband. The police arrested the prime suspect and also recovered the penis. The penis, it was learnt, had already decayed. “After interrogation, Adelaja confessed that he was the one that cut off the penis. He said one Obinwanne Onukwo promised to pay him N30, 000 for the penis. We believe they wanted to use the penis for ritual purpose.”
