Following a quarrel over the use of a mobile phone, three women have been arraigned in an Upper Sharia Court in Gusau in northern part of Nigeria for mesmerizing the manhood of Abdurrahman Suleiman, until he slumped.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the accused were first arraigned on August 13, but the case was adjourned to allow the prosecution to present its witnesses, by the judge, Malam Sani Magami

The trio namely Hannatu Ibrahim, Rukayya Hassan and Wasila Hassan, all of GRA, Gusau, were alleged to have attacked Suleiman, as a result of a quarrel between them over the use of a mobile phone.

Last Monday, the prosecution presented a witness, Muawuyya Salisu, 22, who told the court that the ladies had attacked the victim, a member of the First Aid Group deployed to maintain peace and order at a Ramadan preaching event, pulled his manhood until he fainted and was rescued by his colleagues.

The witness further told the court that the accused had held their hands over Suleiman’s mouth to prevent him from shouting for help.

The prosecuting police officer, Hamisu Ibrahim, said the women, charged with criminal conspiracy, criminal force and assault, had committed an offence contrary to sections 97 and 265 of the Penal Code.

The defence counsel, Mr Muttaqa Ahmed, asked the court to enter a not guilty plea for his clients and wondered why the media would celebrate the case as that of rape.

The judge adjourned the case to September 10, 2012.
