Nine-month-old Buhari Muhammad, whose genital was cut off by his step-mother, has undergone first corrective surgery at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Bida, Niger.
Mrs Mariam Kolo, the Director-General of the state Child Rights Protection Agency, made this known in an interview with newsmen in Minna on Friday.
Kolo told journalists that the surgery was part of the series of operations that the boy would undergo.
“He was operated upon by four neurologists and he is responding to treatment.
“Several other tests will still be conducted to prepare him for the next operation,’’ Kolo said.
Daily Correspondents recall that the woman, Bara’atu Muhammad, who is married to the boy’s father, Muhammad Dauda, and lives in Dafe village, a Gbagyi community in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger state, in June 2016 had told the Daily Trust that she did what she did because of the insult she got in the hands of the boy’s mother and that she was jealous that her co-wife gave birth to a baby boy and that her husband’s affection would automatically transfer to the boy named Buhari, after President Muhammadu Buhari.
