A 35-year-old man, Yinka Offehin, is
battling for his life at a private hospital in Lagos State after his
scrotum was cut by the children of his landlady.
The Edo State indigene, who resides on
Popoola Street, off Abaranje Road in the Ikotun area of Lagos, was said
to have been attacked while sleeping in his room with his family
members.
His wife, Bisi, who was with him when the
incident happened, identified the assailants as Solomon and Damilola,
the children of the landlady.
She said, “On Thursday morning, around
3am, while we were sleeping, we heard loud bangs on our door. We
initially thought they were armed robbers because the house beside ours
had recently been robbed.
“When they entered, we saw they were children of our landlady. They began destroying our electronics and other property.
“There were two of them. One held a knife

other fled the scene.
