Police arrest three over false alarm on missing male organ
The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said it arrested three suspects in Abuja for spreading a false alarm regarding the alleged disappearance of a male organ.
The commissioner of police in charge of the FCT, Garba Haruna, made this announcement while addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said the suspects were apprehended on October 15 after a distress call that Tijani Yakubu of Kabusa village was in danger of being lynched by angry youths.
Mr Yakubu was accused of causing the disappearance of the male organ of Emmanuel Danladi.
According to him, police operatives from the Kabusa Division promptly responded to the call 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 a medical doctor.
“Danladi is in custody along with two others who resorted to mob action resulting in the death of Yusuf,” he said.
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.
Mr Haruna said the suspect had confessed to being an informant and food supplier to the badits terrorising Mpape, Bwari and Byazhin axis of Abuja during interrogation.
“For carrying out these tasks, the suspect is being 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.
