The Police in Bayelsa on Monday confirmed the
arrest of a 59-year-old traditional health practitioner, Ziworitin Keke, who
cut off the penis of a nine-month-old boy during circumcision.
The incident occurred at Odenwari, a coastal
settlement in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa on February 5 2017.
According to Premium Times report, Asinim
Butswat, the spokesman of the state Police Command, told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Monday that Mr. Keke was already in custody, while
investigation was underway.
“We arrested the suspect following a report of
the circumcision incident; he is currently in our custody. “He was arrested on
Saturday and hopefully after investigation, prosecution will follow subject to
the outcome of the investigation,” Mr. Butswat said.
Eudora Michael, the 35-year-old mother of the
baby, said her son, Oyintari Michael, whose penis was cut off during the
ill-fated circumcision, was at risk and in excruciating pains. She said the boy
desperately needed medical help.
Mrs. Michael told NAN on Monday at Federal
Medical Centre, Yenagoa, that she and her husband could not afford the
specialised care the baby needed to stay alive. She further said that since the
sad incident, she and her husband have been running around to raise money and
they are currently in a big debt.
