Police Arrest Woman For Biting Man's Testicles

Esi Affumwaa, a 43 year old woman, has been arrested by the police in Assin Wurakese Camp, located in Assin Foso Municipality of the Central Region, for biting a customer’s testicles during a violent altercation. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday at 6pm left 36 year old farmer Osman hospitalised with serious injuries. According to Osman, the dispute began when he purchased a cigarette for GH₵1.20 from Affumwaa’s drinking spot.

He initially paid GH₵1, 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 GH₵5 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.
