A 40 year-old man has the Lagos State Fire Service to thank for snatching his life back from the jaws of a painful death after a sex performance enhancement ring enlarged his penis beyond expectation.
The Director of the Fire Service, Mr Razak Fadipe,told newsmen that the man wore a metal ring on his penis hoping to increase the size and enhance enjoyment, but the ring enlarged the organ beyond the expected limit.
Sexual enjoyment turned a nightmare when his penis became increasingly turgid, causing him severe pain and making it difficult to remove the ring.
It was in that life-threatening condition that he rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja for help.
According to Mr Fadipe,
“The hospital invited the service to rescue the man, when they could not easily remove the ring. We successfully removed the metal ring in collaboration with the hospital staff at the emergency unit using our rescue tools.
“The incident happened at about 3.15 PM on Friday and it took us about 50 minutes to perform the operation.”

Hints have emerged that President Muhammadu Buhari would compel his ministers and aides to sign a pact not to corruptly enrich themselves in office.
Buhari is said to have made the decision on the strength of overwhelming evidence of how top government officials in past administrations amassed wealth with impunity.
Speaking on the matter, Presidential spokesman on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adeshina said there was nothing wrong with Buhari laying down terms and conditions or rules of engagement for those whose services he wants to engage.
“It is only natural that if the President engages you to work with him, there will be terms and conditions. It is not strange. Don’t forget that we had a President in this country who compelled people to sign pre-dated resignation letters. I am not saying that this President is going to do that, but it means there can always be terms and conditions. These are just like rules of engagement”, Adeshina said.
