The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command announced the arrest of three individuals in Abuja for falsely reporting the disappearance of a male organ.
Mr Garba Haruna, the Commissioner of Police in charge of the FCT, stated this to reporters on Wednesday in Abuja.
He stated that the culprits were apprehended on Oct. 15 after receiving a distress call reporting that Alhaji Tijani Yakubu of Kabusa village was being killed by enraged youths.
According to Haruna, Yakubu is being lynched on suspicion of causing the loss of Emmanuel Danladi’s male organ.
According to him, police operatives from Kabusa Division swung into action 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 medical doctor.
“Danladi is in custody along with two others who resort 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.
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 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.
