A 34-year-old man at Faaman near Mankranso in the Ahafo Ano South
District of the Ashanti Region had his penis bitten by a snake while
attending to nature’s call. Kwabena Nkrumah was sitting on the loo at
Faaman when he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the tip of his manhood.
When he starred deep into the toilet, Nkrumah, who is a porter,
nearly collapsed as he saw a big black snake which was about to pounce
on his dangling manhood once again. The man then shouted for help and
jumped from harm’s way to a place on the toilet where the snake could
not reach him, Mallam Yahaya of Kessben FM said.
According to him, the incident occurred around 10:00 am on
Wednesday, adding that Nkrumah’s sudden wail for help, caused panic and
fear among other people who were also attending to nature’s call. He
said Nkrumah’s shouts of “snake, snake, snake,” intensified the panic
among the people as they ran helter-skelter without even cleaning
themselves to avert being hurt by the serpent.
Mallam Yahaya said Nkrumah reported to the people that he had,
indeed, been bitten at the tip of his penis by the black snake,
complaining further that he was feeling severe pain at the tip of his
manhood. He said the people around hurriedly rushed Nkrumah, who was
feeling a bit dizzy, to the hospital where he was treated.
Nkrumah had since been discharged from the medical facility.
Recounting his horrific experience on Kessben FMs ‘Breaking News’
programme, Nkrumah told Ali Baba, host of the show that, he initially
thought the pain he felt was normal until he saw the black snake lying
just beneath him. He noted that he started shivering and yelled for
help. He however said he was now feeling better.
