Woman "Castrates" ex-husband....

A woman, who squeezed the testicles of her former husband until they popped out of the scrotum, was on Friday remanded in prison custody by the Juaso Circuit Court.

Hawa Abdulai, the woman, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing unlawful harm to Mohammed Kadiri, who was rushed to the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw, where he was admitted for three months. Hawa would re-appear on March 15, for sentence.

The court presided over by Mr Nathaniel E. K. Osam that, Hawa and Kadiri lived at Adansi, near Juaso in the Asante Akim South District and were married for seven years without a child so they divorced.


On November 13, 2001, at about 7am, a misunderstanding arose between them because Hawa could not render satisfactory accounts on 26 mini bags of oranges she sent to Accra for sale.

Mohammed accused Hawa, who is a chain smoker, of having used the money to buy cigarettes. Hawa became offended pounced on Mohammed, held his testicles, squeezed them very hard and took to her heels when she realised that the man was bleeding. When the Police arrested her she claimed Kadiri bit her.
