60-year-old Drunk Herbalist Dies In Calabar After His Dog Bit His Private Part

A herbalist identified as Ani Ikoneto, reportedly died after his private part was bitten off and eaten by his dog in Calabar, Cross Rivers state.

The 60-year-old herbalist who resides at number 12, Jebbs Street in Calabar South, went on a drinking spree on Christmas Eve and returned home drunk, neighbor of the deceased said.

Itoro his neighbor said:

“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 on 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.”

“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”

“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 was living alone as his daughters were married and lived away from him. He has since been taken to his village for funeral.
