Haruna Garba, the FCT commissioner of police, said this on Tuesday, adding that over 10 cases of purported disappearance of male organs across the territory, as well as an increase in mob action by enraged teenagers were recorded.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arraigned at least 14 suspects for giving false information and inciting public disturbance through the alleged disappearance of a male private organ in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Haruna Garba, the FCT commissioner of police, said this on Tuesday, adding that over 10 cases of purported disappearance of male organs across the territory, as well as an increase in mob action by enraged teenagers were recorded.
Garba stated that 14 individuals who claimed their male organs had vanished were escorted to the hospital, where physicians confirmed that their masculinity was still intact and active.
As a result, they were accused in court of spreading false information and inciting public disorder.
The FCT police chief also urged citizens not to raise the alarm about organ disappearances if they were unsure since this could lead to undesirable mob activities and the injuring of innocent people.
Haruna said, “I wish to seize this opportunity to appeal to the residents of FCT to warn their wards and children to desist from raising false alarms.
“In addition, they are enjoined not to resort to jungle justice or mob action as innocent lives may be lost in the process.
“In the same vein, I wish to advise residents of the FCT to be wary of the kind of vehicles they board. It is advised that they should board painted taxis from designated motor parks. It is risky to board an unpainted taxi otherwise known as ‘kabu-kabu’ as they may fall victims of these robbers known as one chance. I want to reiterate my commitment and willingness to always work with you to defeat crime in the Federal Capital Territory.”
