be a member of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG), reportedly hacked off
his manhood with a machete in order to fast
and pray better.
The man was said to have joined the
ongoing 21 days fasting and prayer
programme organised by the church.
It was learnt that the man wholeheartedly
believes that prayers and fasting should be
carried on with piousness and decided to go
with the verse in the bible which Jesus told
people to cut off any part of their bodies that
will lead them to sin.
According to reports, the RCCG member was
initially doing well with abstinence from food
and water but on Sunday, January 18
revealed that his male organ was preventing
him from getting closer to God due to little
erections on daily basis.
Neighbours who had witnessed the incident
attacked the RCCG member, thinking he
wanted to use his manhood to perform a
ritual.
He quickly explained to his neighbours what
his aim was before he was taken to the
hospital.
He reportedly said: “The penis has a mind of
its own and it is capable of doing things
which are totally out of my control. It usually
gets erect every now and then, and konji sets
in. And you know that konji is one of the
things that leads people into sin.
The erections were making me weaker
spiritually and in the fast. That is why I cut
it off. Even Jesus Christ said that we should
cut off anything which will make us sin, " he
explained further
He is now at the hospital responding to
treatment, hoping his manhood will grow
back on his body after the 21 days of fasting
and prayers.
