B00M: Farmer Cuts His Testicles While Sleeping | PHOTOS/ DETAILS

A 48-year-old farmer identified as Kofi Atta, is hospitalised after he mistakenly cut off his testicles while sleeping in Ghana.

Atta was said to have dozed off in an armchair, but managed to pick a knife to cut his testicles as he was dreaming of cutting meat.

He had called for his two neighbors who met him in a pool of his own blood and was rushed to St Francis Xavier hospital in Assin Fosu.

Speaking to BBC Pidgin Atta said:

“I was sitting in my chair when I dozed off. In my sleep, I dreamt that I was cutting some meat in front of me.

“I don’t remember how I picked up the knife, even I am confused.”

He explained that he was still unsure of what had happened when his neighbours arrived, although he stood up and felt a sharp pain in his genitals.

Perhaps as a result of the loss of blood, Kofi only came out of the dream state when in hospital. That’s when he realised he hadn’t been chopping meat for a family meal, but rather his own testicles.

The victim’s wife, Adwoa Konadu, disclosed that the latest incident is not the first time her husband has carried out such activity while sleeping.

She said that he frequently moves, converses, and occasionally fights while he is asleep. It was during one of such episodes that Wofa Atta ended up damaging his genitals.
