Husband leads gang to cut off ‘rivals’penis

A 36-year-old pupil teacher has had his penis severed by a gang led by the husband of a woman he is accused of having an amorous relationship with.

James Kalimal Baale, a pupil teacher at Nalerigu in the Northern Region is currently on admission at the Baptist Hospital in Nalerigu while his assailant, Moses Teng, also a teacher at Sheaga Primary School and one Kofi Asampana, said to have aided the cruel act, are in the grips of the Police in Bawku.

Two other accomplices are on the run, however, Comfort Tikana, 24, the lady alleged to be between the two men is also in the firm grips of the police to help with investigations. She is herself a pupil teacher at the Sheaga Day Care Centre.

Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Bawku Divisional Crime Officer of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Adamu Seidu said the incident occurred last Thursday, August 22, at about 8 pm.

Mr Seidu said Moses and his gang stormed the campus of the Pusiga College of Education where James and Comfort are pursuing a top-up programme to attack the lovers.

According to the police, Moses claimed James whom he suspected to be the boyfriend of his wife, Comfort, has been calling him (Moses) on his mobile phone to insult him.

Moses claimed James even went to the extent of vividly describing the size of his wife’s private parts, the hotels they have been meeting in, the number of times they had had sex and the clothing he, James, had bought for Comfort.

The police said this alleged conversation infuriated Moses and as a result he stormed the campus where the two lovers were schooling.

On arrival, Moses and his gang allegedly ambushed the victim, overpowered him and severed his penis with a knife.

The police said Moses and two others fled the scene after the incident, however, Kofi Asampana, was attacked by a mob and later arrested by the police.

James was sent to the Nalerigu Hospital after receiving first aid at the Akonye Memorial Hospital in Pusiga.

According to Supt. Seidu, police investigations led them to Tongo, where Moses was picked up on Saturday evening after he had reported himself to the police in Tongo and admitted his crime.
