A 34-year-old man identified as Lekan Daramola, has severed his manhood following allegations of serial rape in Oke-Aro area of Ogun State.
Daramola was reportedly caught in the act of raping his landlord’s 12-year-old daughter and after he was beaten, disgraced and paraded around the town, he decided to cut his penis off with a sharp kitchen knife, according to Daily Post.
Narrating the incident, a neighbour who witnessed the bloody scene said: “This is not the first time brother Lekan was caught in the act. Just last year, he was nabbed while raping a street hawker and the area boys beat him almost to death.
“He was caught again on three different occasions and the last time, he lured Baba’s (landlord) young daughter into his room and while forcefully having carnal knowledge of the girl, her screams attracted neighbours who broke the door of his room and caught him.
“He was given the beating of his life and paraded in the town. In the night, we heard screams in his room and when we rushed there, we found him in a pool of his blood with a bloody knife beside him.
“As we were rushing him to a nearby hospital, he confessed that he did not know the spirit that always got into him that made him rape girls and that it was better to cut off his penis.”
