According to Punch, a violent altercation between two live-in partners in the Mile 3 area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has left a man severely injured and a woman under police custody. The incident, which occurred on Thursday on Bishop Okoye Street, Diobu, sparked public outcry as residents expressed shock over the level of violence involved.
The woman, identified only as Gift, aged 43, was arrested after allegedly biting her partner, known as Sunday, during a heated disagreement. Reports suggest that Sunday had asked for intimacy, which Gift declined due to concerns over his consumption of a stimulant product. This rejection allegedly led to a physical confrontation in which Gift, while trying to defend herself, inflicted a serious bite on a private part of Sunday’s body.
An eyewitness said; “Gift managed to get hold of the man’s manhood with her mouth and bit off the tip.”
The eyewitness revealed that Sunday began screaming in pain, alerting neighbours who rushed to the scene. In reaction to the disturbing sight, an enraged crowd reportedly attacked Gift before police officers from Nkpolu Division intervened to prevent further violence. The officers swiftly arrested Gift and rescued her from the growing mob.
Sunday was immediately transported to a private medical facility in Port Harcourt, where doctors confirmed that he suffered deep tissue injury. Medical personnel disclosed he underwent emergency treatment and is currently under observation, although further surgeries might be required depending on recovery progress.
Meanwhile, the police confirmed that the suspect remains in custody as investigations continue. According to sources at the Nkpolu Police Division, both parties had a history of volatile arguments, although this was the first incident to result in serious injury.
Police spokesperson Grace Iringe-Koko stated, “The suspect has been arrested. The matter is under investigation to determine the full circumstances surrounding the altercation. We are also gathering statements from neighbours and witnesses.”
