Baraatu had reportedly severed the penis of the baby, Buhari Dauda, who was left in her care last weekend at Daikpe village, Kuta community in Shiroro Local Government Area.
However, the baby survived the attack after doctors battled to save his life.
A paediatric surgeon at the Ibrahim Babangida Specialist Hospital, Minna, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, promised that Buhari had been reacting to treatment and now in a stable condition.
Abdullahi said in an interview with our correspondent that “although the little boy has survived the attack, he has been inflicted with a permanent scar in his life. He would grow up into adulthood without a functional penis.
“In fact, I can assure you that the boy will survive the attack but he would not have a functional male organ”. But yesterday, the governor’s wife vowed to do everything possible to ensure justice was done in the case.
Bello described the act as horrendous and the height of wickedness.
She added that Baraatu must face the law. Reacting to the incident in a statement signed by her Press Secretary, Aisha Wakaso, the governor’s said it was heartbreaking to see an innocent boy go through such a near death experience. However, Bello expressed happiness that the boy was still alive and promised that everything would be done to bring the perpetrator of the dastardly act to justice.
She said: “I have already put machinery in motion to ensure that the boy receives the best medical attention possible, so he can recover very quickly.”
The governor’s wife also appealed to members of the public to always exercise restraint when they are angry, so that innocent children or even adults would not become unfortunate victims of unwarranted violence.https://newtelegraphonline.com/severing-babys-genitals-wicked-says-govs-wife/
