A 43-year-old woman, by name as Esi Affumwaa, has been apprehended by the police in Assin Wurakese Camp, located in the Assin Foso Municipality of the Central Region, for allegedly biting a customer’s testicles during a violent altercation.
The incident, which occurred around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, left 36-year-old farmer Osman hospitalised with serious injuries.
According to Osman, the dispute began when he purchased a cigarette for GHS1.20 from Affumwaa’s drinking spot. He first paid GHS1, promising to settle the remaining 20 pesewas later.
The next day, he returned to the drinking spot, intending to buy another cigarette and settle his outstanding debt. He handed GHS5 to Affumwaa, assuming the debt would be deducted.
However, when he later attempted to make another purchase, Affumwaa confronted him, demanding the 20 pesewas, which led to a heated argument.
Osman narrated that the argument quickly escalated into a physical altercation. He alleged that Affumwaa struck him on the head with a stick, causing him to fall to the ground.
“She, with the help of her children, pounced on me, beating me mercilessly before biting my testicles,” Osman recounted.
He said he began bleeding profusely and screamed for help until bystanders rushed him to the hospital.
Currently, the police have started investigations into the unfortunate incident.
Meanwhile, Osman has since been discharged from the hospital.
