In a statement issued on Tuesday, FCT Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, said, “The FCT Police Command has documented more than ten (10) cases of alleged male organ disappearance throughout the Territory, along with the escalating incidents of mob violence by enraged youths.

“It was only through the intervention of the Police Command that loss of life and property was prevented, and law and order were restored.

“Fourteen (14) suspects who alleged that their male organs had disappeared were taken to the Hospital, where the Medical Doctor confirmed that their male organs were intact and functioning.

“As a result, they have been charged with providing false information and inciting public disturbance.”
