A man who suspected his 42-year-old wife of having an affair and sent thugs to remove the testicles of the wife’s suspected lover is in the grips of the police at Amasaman in the Ga West Municipality of Greater Accra.
The 49-year-old carpenter, identified by the police as Robert Otoo, was arrested on Thursday, October 5, 2017, at Nsekina in the Ga West Municipality.
Confirming the incident to Graphic Online, the Amasaman Police Commander, Superintendent John Ferguson Dzineku said the incident happened on Thursday, October 5, 2017, at Nsekina.
Robert Otoo and the victim, Emmanuel Nanor, 45, unemployed, are neighbours and shared the same wall.
One resident in the area said they suspect Otoo's "pen is not writing well" and that there are rumours in the community that he was suffering from erectile dysfunction.
At about 9:30 am Thursday, the police received a distress call that a certain man has been injured at Nsekina and was on the verge of dying.
The police rushed to the scene and found blood in the victim’s room but the victim had been put in a vehicle to a hospital for treatment.

Upon interrogation, the victim, popularly known in the area as Awotsɛ told the police that he was reading his Bible when two men forcefully entered his room.
The men reportedly held his throat and pinned him to the ground and told him that, they were sent by Robert Otoo to come for his testicles as his punishment for having an affair with his [Otoo] wife.
According to Superintendent Dzineku, one of the two men removed a knife from his pocket and used it to remove the testicle while the other one held the victim firmly to the ground.

He said the victim shouted for help and some residents rushed to his aid.

Eiii! So this actually happened in Ghana? Amansaman? What authority do you have to order the castration of another man? Do we still have pre-ancient beings among us? I thought they became extinct some 500 years ago oblivious of the fact that there is still one of them hiding in Amansaman! This your action has far-reaching consequences on possibly so many people. If the victim has a wife you have rendered him unserviceable to his wife. We are not sure of the instruments used and he could get infection or even die! I hope the perpetrators of the heinous crime are captured and made to face the full weight of the law as occasioned by this inhumane treatment of a fellow human being based on mere allegations. So we still have not learnt anything from Major Mahama's death concerning instant justice? Does he have proof and even if you have proof does that warrant your actions?I pray the guy makes it but these savages should be thrown into jail for live!
How ***barred word***?! If you suspect your wife of extra marital affairs, the best you can do is to let her go if you can't stand it. The victim did not rape your wife and if even he did, the law is there to fight for you. These are the things that led to captain Mahama's death. What if in the end, this Awotse guy is innocent?Suspects are not culprits. Civilization and democracy mean you will hear things you don't want to hear and see things you don't want see. It is called FREEDOM and the RULE OF LAW. If even it is true it means your wife enjoys foreign stuff rather than yours so she will quietly look for another handsome man somewhere to tangle with. Until you are able to cut off all the dicks that will be chopping your wife, you are fighting a ***barred word*** and ***barred word*** battle which will eventually land you in hot waters. GROW UP!!
