A 27-year-old man said to be a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), reportedly hacked off his manhood with a machete in order to fast and pray better. See his photo and more below:
The man was said to have joined the ongoing 21 days fasting and prayer programme organised by the church.
It
was learnt that the man wholeheartedly believes that prayers and
fasting should be carried on with piousness and decided to go with the
verse in the bible which Jesus told people to cut off any part of their
bodies that will lead them to sin.
According to
reports, the RCCG member was initially doing well with abstinence from
food and water but on Sunday, January 18 revealed that his male organ
was preventing him from getting closer to God due to little erections on
daily basis.
Neighbours who had witnessed the incident attacked the RCCG member, thinking he wanted to use his manhood to perform a ritual.
He quickly explained to his neighbours what his aim was before he was taken to the hospital.
He reportedly said: “The penis
has a mind of its own and it is capable of doing things which are
totally out of my control. It usually gets erect every now and then, and
konji sets in. And you know that konji is one of the things that leads
people into sin.
The erections were
making me weaker spiritually and in the fast. That is why I cut it
off. Even Jesus Christ said that we should cut off anything which will
make us sin, " he explained further
He is now
at the hospital responding to treatment, hoping his manhood will grow
back on his body after the 21 days of fasting and prayers.
