A 44-year-old man has castrated himself few weeks after he had dropped out from the University of Ibadan as a 500 level medical student.
Anongo removed his first testicle in March 2021 and completed the task of excising the second one on January 3, 2022.
According to The Punch, Anongo, who is popularly known in Gboko as the doctor, said he could now sleep perfectly without waking up with sexual urge, adding that he gets enough time to read his Bible.
Describing the psychological effect of not having a wife or girlfriend, Anongo said, “You know you will have a problem in Gboko if you do not have a girlfriend. You will have to go and sleep with prostitute and pay either N1,000 or N2,000, depending on the style you want.
“After that (sleeping with prostitute), you feel guilt, it was very bad and almost suicidal. Then, if I see a woman shaking her buttocks, I sometimes resorted to buying data and watching pornography on my phone. But now, the interest in these things is simply not there.
“There is no sexual urge at all. I can sleep perfectly now. I have a lot of peace in my mind, read the Bible and understand it.”
Anongo added that if one had an urge but could not exercise it, “it makes one angry very easily.”
While stating that he personally carried out the castration, Anongo said he only decided to visit hospital because of infection he had.
“I had an infection, so I was going to hospital to dress it but now, I am better. I am beginning to cope very well and my voice is changing, it is becoming lighter,” he added.
