A 60-year-old herbalist in Calabar, Cross Rivers state, Ani Ikoneto, has reportedly died after being bitten by his dog on the private part.
Reports from his neighbors claim that Ikoneto who resides at number 12, Jebbs Street in Calabar South, had a bit of session on Christmas Eve and got back home tipsy.
“When he came back, we had gone to bed but some people were still outside. He went inside his room and slept off without shutting the door and because of too much drink, he excreted himself.
“His dog that was outside smelt the poo and went inside to eat it. In the process, the dog ate his private parts thinking it was meat or part of the excreta,” Itoro his neighbor said.
According to him, the man called for help with screams which made neighbors rush into his apartment and discover what had happened.
“When we heard him scream, we thought hoodlums had attacked him. But when we got there, we saw that his private part was gone and his dog had blood on its mouth” the neighbor said.
Itoro explained that due to his messed-up body, he was not rushed to the hospital immediately as it needed to be cleaned up.
She said; “By the time we finished cleaning him of the shit, he was bleeding so much, and on the way to the hospital he died.”
The man lived alone ever since his daughters got married and are away from him.
However, his remains have been taken to his village for a funeral.
