Borno man attempts suicide after wife refuses reconciliation

A 50-year-old man, Modu Isa, has been rescued after attempting to take his own life in Bama, Borno State.

The incident occurred on Friday evening in Hausari Ward, where Isa reportedly stabbed himself three times in the stomach before mutilating his genitals.

Community members who witnessed the act quickly alerted security operatives, and a police patrol team evacuated him to the General Hospital, Bama, where he is currently receiving treatment.

Witnesses said Isa took the drastic step after his former wife, Bayanxe Modu of Konduga, whom he had divorced three times, rejected his request to return to his home.

Police confirmed that the knife used in the act was recovered as an exhibit, and the case has since been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Maiduguri for further investigation.
