Police arrest woman for allegedly cutting husband genitals

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old woman, Ogunlana Yemisi, for allegedly assaulting her husband, Idowu Adebowale, and inflicting a serious injury on his genitals.

The incident reportedly occurred during a domestic dispute.

The Command’s spokesperson, SP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Monday, October 21, 2024. According to the report, Adebowale, 31, filed a complaint with the police on the morning of October 15, claiming that his wife attacked him with a sharp object around 4:30 a.m. after a minor disagreement.

The victim showed police officers a deep cut on his genitals, which he claimed was inflicted by his wife during the altercation.

“Following the report, detectives immediately visited the scene, and the suspect was arrested,” SP Odutola stated.

During questioning, Yemisi denied the allegations, but given the severity of the injury and the fact that Adebowale had not sought medical attention, the police provided him with a medical form and urged him to seek treatment at a hospital.

The spokesperson further noted that Yemisi remains in police custody while the case is being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Abeokuta for further investigation.

“This case will undergo a thorough investigation as it appears to be a result of uncontrollable anger, leading to a severe instance of domestic violence,” Odutola added.
