Police arrest 3 suspects for raising false alarm of stolen manhood in Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has apprehended three suspects in Abuja in connection with a false alarm regarding the alleged disappearance of a man’s genital organ. Commissioner of Police for the FCT, Mr. Garba Haruna, revealed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
The arrests were made on October 15 in response to a distress call indicating that a man named Alhaji Tijani Yakubu from Kabusa village was under attack by an enraged mob. The mob’s anger was triggered by allegations that Yakubu had caused the disappearance of the male organ of one Emmanuel Danladi.
Upon receiving the distress call, police officers from the Kabusa Division swiftly intervened and rescued the injured victim.
“The suspect and the victim were subsequently taken to the hospital for medical attention and examination, unfortunately Yakubu was confirmed dead by the medical doctor on duty.
“However, the male genital of Danladi who raised the false alarm that his penis had disappeared was confirmed intact and active by the medical doctor.
In a related development, the commissioner said operatives of the Command had trailed and arrested a suspected informant and logistics supplier to kidnappers.
He said the suspect was arrested on Oct. 17 by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Command following credible intelligence.
Haruna said the suspect had confessed to being an informant and food supplier to the bandits terrorising Mpape, Bwari and Byazhin axis of Abuja during interrogation.
“For carrying out these tasks, the suspect has been rewarded with a payment of N15, 000 by the bandits.
“The suspect is cooperating with the police to arrest other gang members at large,” he said.
He said the suspect was also a close associate to the wanted bandit leaders in the area, adding that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of investigation. (NAN)
