A Kenyan referee is suing the national football federation, claiming that he has been left impotent after a coach grabbed and squeezed his testicles, Eurosport reports.
Referee Martin Wekesa is suing for £158,000 in compensation from the federation after he alleges he was grabbed and kicked during a pitch invasion in a match in September last year.
The attack was from individuals of the Sparki Youth team, with Wekesa claiming that he was “attacked in my private parts” by a member of the coaching staff.
Daudi Kajembe “came onto the field and assaulted” the referee after he made the decision to send a Sparki player off, Wekesa says.
“He pulled my testicles. He actually pressed them and I was hanging on him when he was pulling me. I was crying and could not get myself out from his hands,” Wekesa said. “I remember Kajembe told me, raising his hand, ‘I can kill you in a minute,’ and came directly to my testicles.”
According to Wekesa, he was rescued by a police officer but slumped to his knees in pain on the pitch before being taken to the hospital, and he now finds himself unable to have sex with his wife.
“It is impossible. It is so painful, painful, painful in my areas,” he said.
His wife Mary, added: “We used to live as wife and husband. Nowadays we don’t, so that’s how the life has changed.”
Kajembe is due to appear in court in Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa on Thursday on a charge of assault and causing grievous bodily harm, while Wekesa is claiming the 20 million Kenyan shillings in compensation from the federation for his expensive medical bills and the problems the assault has caused him and his wife, Mary.
Kajembe has pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm.
