A man known as Emmanuel Addai has allegedly ‘chewed” the wife’s ear in a disturbing incident of domestic violence.
The incident occurred at “Wonkayaw”, a community in Dambai township of the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region.
Madam Cecilia Fordjour, the 46-year-old wife, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that she had her ear bitten off by her husband during a violent altercation.
According to Madam Fordjour, the incident happened after she had prepared food for the family and was with the children when her husband returned from a funeral in the area.
She alleged that without any provocation, her husband demanded she leave the house immediately, just as she was arranging to serve him food.
According to her, the situation escalated and her husband allegedly attacked her, biting off her ear among other assaults.
Madam Fordjour recounted that when they arrived at a private health facility (KOPAH Clinic) with the severed ear, medical officials informed them that reattachment was unlikely due to the prolonged delay in the house. The ear could no longer be saved.
