When 29-year-old Jacob Kunini was arrested by Adamawa State police officers about two months ago, his neighbours must have heaved a sigh of relief. This is because Jacob was said to have allegedly mutilated the sex organ of his five- year-old neighbour, Pwashikai Nideno.
The Adamawa Public Relations State Officer, Naniels Altine, told CRIME DIGEST that Kunini had only been recently released after serving a three-year jail term for a related offence.
“Kunini was arrested alongwith his mother who was shielding him when we launched a manhunt for Nideno’s attacker. We also arrested Mijinyawa Bala, a herbalist who Kunini claimed to have instructed him to get the intestine of a virgin along with her private organ for ritual purposes intended to make him wealthy,” Altine said.
Kunini was said to have been arrested the same day a complaint was filed concerning Nideno. Police officers immediately went to the Yola Specialist Hospital to check on Nideno, while plain clothes police officers were sent to Doug Village, where Nideno lives with her family and was assaulted.
A source in the village tipped off the police about Kunini’s involvement, saying that he had just served time for a similar offence. Kunini was immediately apprehended, although Nideno’s organ was not found with him. Kunini claimed to have given it to a herbalist friend who was also immediately arrested.
Kunini was arraigned at a Yola Magisterate’s Court on May 30, 2011 on a five-count charge of criminal conspiracy, house trespass, kidnapping, rape and an attempt to commit culpable homicide. Kunini is presently being remanded in prison.
While Kunini is behind bars, his victim, Nideno, is yet to resume a normal life. The seventh of 10 children, Nideno is currently at the Yola Specialist Hospital, where she awaits the funds to undergo vaginoplasty.
Altine said, “Nideno and her siblings were alone at home on the night Kunini stole into their home and abducted her. Her father was at the Numan General Hospital at the time with an undisclosed ailment and her mother was with him. Kunini was said to have raped Nideno before mutilating her private part. It was Pwashikai’s siblings who awoke the next morning and raised the alarm when they discovered she was missing and a search party was immediately organised after an uncle had been contacted.”
Nideno has been a guest of the specialist hospital for over two months and is under the care of the Brown Hearts Foundation. Chaste Inegbedion, the director of the foundation, said Nideno was brought to the organisation’s attention during the International Children’s Week at the Adawama State House.
He said, “We are currently trying to raise funds so that Nideno’s organ can be reconstructed and she can live a normal life. She is a fighter: How she survived the attack and maintained consciousness till she was taken to the hospital has amazed even the doctors.” Nideno was discovered about 500 metres away from their hut, crouched on a hands and knees as she crawled towards her footpath. She was discovered by a neighbour who had gone into the bush to get firewood. Her intestines were said to be spilling out of her. Nideno’s father, who was said to have given up the ghost a while later, remained ignorant of his daughter’s condition till his death.
Dr. Chuks Azubuike, who, with a team of doctors, performed initial surgeries on Nideno, told CRIME DIGEST that Nideno had had two surgical operations and needed a third to join her honeypot and rectum together. “Two emergency surgical operations had to be performed on her immediately. Although her private organ was not entirely removed, the thin layer between her honeypot and rectum was destroyed in the process and needs to be restored,” Azubuike said. He added, “The last surgery which is needed to reconstruct Nideno’s private organ cannot be done in Nigeria; that is vaginoplasty. We have been in talks with a UK-based hospital, one in Egypt and another in Sudan. None of the three hospitals was able to give an estimate of what the surgery would cost, but the UK-based hospital said Nideno would require a five-day hospital assessment to determine the treatment and procedure she would need. The hospital put the cost at £20,000 and we have about N1.8m that has been contributed by well-meaning Nigerians.”
Although Maijama Adamu, the spokesperson for the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, had earlier announced that the state government would pick the bill for Nideno’s surgery, Inegbedion lamented the seemingly slow pace at which the promise was being fulfilled.
“When Nideno’s condition was brought to my notice, I was at the state house for the ICDA programme. That was when (Maijama) Adamu pledged the state government’s assistance. Till this very day, they are yet to make good on their word,” Inegbedion said.
