A sexual tryst in a city lodging ended badly when a man in his mid 30s mysteriously lost one of his testicles.

The early Tuesday morning incident left passersby mouths agape as the man sought answers to his dilemma.

The man and his clandestine lover aged about 20 both looked shocked at the unforeseen catastrophe although the man insisted the girl had bewitched him.

That is why he tightly held her hand as he forced her to the police station.

Curious

The girl who looked shaken tried to defend herself from anyblame. She pleaded with curious members of the public to rescue her but no one seemed to care.

“Mpaka unirudishie kitu yangu ndio nikuachilie, kama sivyo tutamalizia kwa polisi na hata kortini (If you don’t return it, we are going to the police, even the court),” the man threatened.

Curious onlookers who had milled around the scene tried to intervene but the man insisted they were going to the police to start a legal search for his lost ‘gadget’. The Man is from Nyeri while the girl hails from Machakos.

 The panic stricken pair had popped out of a hotel situated along Tom Mboya Street where they had spent the night with panic written on their faces.

Onlookers were left in stitches when the man said he was scared that the remaining testicle could disappear at any time. They cheered as he tried to carry the woman shoulder-high to the police station when she refused to tug along.

Unfaithful

But others demanded that he lower his pants for them to confirm whether he had really lost ‘it’.

“Let’s confirm for ourselves if you are saying the truth,” some onlookers said while others mocked him for being unfaithful to his wife.

But another onlooker cautioned, saying, “You can go to the police, but remember their guns won’t help you trace that thing. You should seek help from a witchdoctor before you lose the remaining one.”

According to the man, the agreement was that they spend the night at the hotel. for which he would part with Sh2,000 in advance.

But when he woke up in the morning, he was shocked to see part of his manhood deflated  and only one nut could be felt. Shortly after, he emerged from the hotel room crying at the loss of his precious goods and holding the woman’s firmly hand to restrain her from running away.

The distraught man said he had a wife and children and that he did not know what to tell her when he goes back home. He said he had come to the city for official duty and hooked up with the woman whom he said he met in a bar the previous evening.

Some in the crowd said the man’s wife must have bewitched him while others alleged the hooker was to blame. Curiously, none of them considered visiting a medic first to confirm loss of the precious family jewel.
