A baby whose jealous stepmother chopped off his penis when he was just two months old to “get back” at his biological mom has died.

Dauda Buhari had been due to fly from Nigeria to the UK for genital transplant surgery after the brutal attack.

However, he died in his village of Wada in Nigeria after contracting malaria, the Daily Post of Nigeria reported.

Buhari’s penis was sliced off by his then 17-year-old stepmother Bara’atu Rabiu on June 28. She is currently being detained in jail.

Mariam Kolo, of the Child’s Right Agency, said Buhari had “malaria which made his temperature rise and he died even after he had been administered his prescribed drugs.”

The baby had needed a number of corrective surgeries after the incident and was due to have treatment in Britain.

But Kolo said his death was not connected to any complications from surgery.

Instead, it has been attributed to the illness, with Kolo noting he was doing well following a number of operations.

Speaking on Nigerian TV, the stepmom confessed she took Buhari from his mother’s room where he was sleeping, to the toilet where she chopped off his penis with a kitchen knife.

She said, “I decided to do that in retaliation to insults [I’ve been receiving] from his mother. She has been insulting me. That was the major reason I used our kitchen knife to cut off his penis.”

But her husband, Dauda said, “I never heard them quarreling, I never saw them fighting. There was no division. I treated them equally.”
