Oluwaropo Tifase,
the university dropout who was accused of killing his 75-year-old father,
Moses, in the Jakande Estate, Mile 2 area of Lagos State, (read here) has removed his
testicles while in the custody of the police.
Twenty-two-year-old
Oluwaropo, during a chat with punch correspondent at the Lagos Island General
Hospital, where he was rushed to for treatment, said he acted under the
influence of a spirit which possessed him at the time.
However, he was
said to have used the tiles of the cell to remove his two testicules.
The police at the
SCID were said to have rushed him to the Lagos Island General Hospital on
Tuesday when the incident happened.
He said, “I got
frustrated with my life while in the cell because I was alone and was abandoned
there. I didn’t see outside of the cell for a long time.
“A spirit entered
into me and said I should do it. So I castrated myself. I removed the two
testicles myself.”
Asked if he
didn’t feel pains while removing the testicles, he replied, “I did.”
He was asked if
he was a cultist, and why he was rusticated from school.
He said, “I am
not a cultist and I didn’t kill my dad. It is my mother that keeps telling
people that I am a cultist.
“I studied
industrial design in school, but I didn’t like the course, so I voluntarily
dropped out of school because I discovered my love ─ computer. I love programming, so, I
decided to leave school on my
own and pursue my love.”
The Police Public
Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
He said, “Yes it
happened. He broke the tiles in the cell toilet and used them to cut his
testicles. As we speak, he is in the hospital undergoing treatment.”
