A Lagos High Court yesterday heard how a lawyer, Udeme Otike-Odibi, cut off the manhood of her husband, Symphorosa, after hitting him on the head with a frying-pan on May 3, last year.
Testifying in the trial of Udeme for the alleged murder of Symphorosa, Olusegun Bamidele, an Assistant Superinterndent of Police (ASP), said she also stabbed the deceased in the stomach with a kitchen knife.
