July 5, a man in his 30s was
seen at Duport Road Market along the main
motor road in Monrovia, Liberia, crying
profusely and screaming "My penis, my
penis" as blood poured from his trouser. It
was discovered that the man’s penis was
completely slashed by an unknown person.
According to a Liberian site, multiple
eyewitnesses saw him running towards the
motor road and ran onto a moving taxi in
excruciating pains and with tears, shouting,
"My penis, my penis,", attracting attention
from a surging crowd of onlookers.
"The man came with heavy running and
bumped into the taxi. I heard him saying let
car kill me one time,” an 18-year old Prince
Railey, one of the onlookers, told the
INSIGHT.
Another eyewitness, James Mulbah , narrated
that the man could not explain what had
happened to him or what he did for his penis
to be slashed. Eyewitness Mulbah added that
he was just saying "It is hard to talk."
"The man fell right before the taxi, we were
shocked. Later on, we discovered that too
much blood was leaking from his trouser, and
when he opened his trouser, we saw that his
penis was cut. When we asked him to explain
what happened to him, all he could say was:
“It is hard to talk my people" . He left crying
in severe pains until an ambulance came and
took him away"
The victim was reportedly taken to the state-
owned John F. Kennedy medical center in
Sinkor, a suburb of Monrovia for treatment.
Residents of Duport Road and its surrounding
communities who trooped to the scene of the
incident upon hearing the news that spread
in all directions like a bush fire could not
give the identity of the victim.
When the Insight went to the nearby drainage
yesterday, the piece of the cut penis was
seen there. It is not clear why the ambulance
that took the victim to the hospital did not
remove the piece of penis from the drainage.
There were different opinions among the
terrified eyewitnesses as to what really may
have led to the man’s penis be cutoff.
"For me, this man must be a thief. Probably,
he had gone to steal from someone and he
was caught in the process and the person
treated him in such a ghastly manner,” old
man Jackson Perry, said.
Another eyewitness, Foday Subah, said: "the
man might have been caught in a “jolly-jolly
sexual safari” with somebody’s woman. That
could be the reason why such an evil thing
was done to him. It is just hard to determine
the actual cause of the incident, as the
victim himself did not say anything."
