Speaking to BBC Pidgin four days later, Atta said, "I was sitting in a chair when i dozed off. While I was asleep, I dreamt that I was cutting meat." Atta was rushed to a hospital for treatment, but he later stated that he could require surgery for which he must gather the necessary cash. Fortunately, despite being severe, his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
"Right now I am in a hospital. They have given me some fluids and some injections but I need surgery. I don't have the money to be able to get to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for surgery," he said.
Atta said that he had really asked for assistance while he was still dreaming and claimed to have had no idea how he ended up sleeping with a knife in his hand. "I don't remember carrying the knife. I was so confused," he said. He yelled for assistance as he struggled to get out of the chair. After putting the pieces of his dream together, he realised that he had accidentally severed his own penis and scrotum.
His wofe Adwoa Konadu was away at the time and when she returned home, she was horrified to discover her husband bleeding while clutching his genitals. According to GHOne TV, the man's wife got a "distress call" from a neighbour saying that her husband had "cut off his manhood with a sharp knife" and was "bleeding profusely."
Her husband was "sitting on a chamber pot full of blood, with his penis in his hand when she hurried home and discovered him. She brought "diapers to support her husband from losing his manhood" and transported him to the nearest hospital for treatment.
