Why I cut off my step son’s p3nis – Stepmother opens up

A 22-year-old woman, Rabiu Bara’atu, who cut off the penis of her rival’s one-month-old baby, Buhari in Kuta town, Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State, has revealed reasons for her action.
Bara’atu said after having been married to her husband, Mohammed Dauda for seven years, without a child, she felt bitter that her rival, Dauda’s second wife had bore a child for their husband.

Speaking on NTA, Bara’atu confessed that she took Buhari from his mother’s room where he was sleeping, to the toilet where she chopped-off his penis with a kitchen knife.


She said, “I decided to do that in retaliation to insults (I’ve been receiving) from his mother. She has been insulting me. Anytime I complained to our husband, he will not take action. That was the major reason I used our kitchen knife to cut off his penis.”

But responding to her claims, her husband, Dauda said Bara’atu never reported Basira to him and that as far as he was concerned, they were living in peace.

Dauda said, “I never heard them quarrelling, I never saw them fighting. My house is intact. There was no division. I treated them equally.

“I was shocked when I heard what Bara’atu did to my son. She never showed any sign of madness. She is mentally okay,” Dauda added.


On her part, the baby’s mother, Basira, also denied Bara’atu’s allegations.

She said, “Ever since she was married and came to the house, I took her as my younger sister. That was why I allowed her to be close to my son. I didn’t know that she was planning to kill my son,” she lamented.

Meanwhile, the Niger State government has promised to take care of Buhari’s medical bills.

Recall that the accused was arraigned before a Niger State Magistrate Court sitting in Minna on Monday and remanded in prison after she pleaded not guilty.
