A domestic dispute over sex in Port Harcourt turned gruesome when a woman bit off part of her lover’s penis. The violent encounter has sparked widespread concern about intimate partner conflicts and escalating gender-based violence.
- Gift, 43, allegedly attacked her lover Sunday after refusing sex due to his use of enhancement drugs.
- The man suffered a severe genital injury and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
- Police arrested the woman at the scene; Rivers Command confirms investigation is currently underway.
Residents of Bishop Okoye Street were horrified by the attack. Witnesses say the incident escalated quickly, with neighbours nearly mobbing the suspect. Online, reactions vary between condemning the violence and debating issues of consent, self-defence, and toxic relationships.
As investigations continue, questions arise: how can society better handle disputes rooted in intimacy and coercion? Are we doing enough to educate couples about boundaries and de-escalation?
