The Delta State Police command has said that it has arrested a man who raised false alarm over the disappearance of his manhood.
The false alarm had led many residents to descend on the woman whom the man had accused of being responsible for the disappearance of his manhood.
Police spokesman in Delta Bright Edafe, in a statement on Wednesday, said it took the intervention of men of the command to save the old woman from being killed.
Condemning jungle justice, the command spokesman explained that the incident happened On Sunday 8th October 2023 at DBS Road Asaba.
The suspect, said to be 18-year-old named Ebube Linus, raised a false alarm that an old woman inside a tricycle touched him and his manhood (penis) disappeared.

“Over 100 misguided touts gathered and mobbed this woman, stripping her naked and beating her to a stupor to the point of almost killing her.
“The Command was contacted and the DPO GRA division Asaba led policemen to the scene, rescued the woman, and arrested the suspect who we later discovered that nothing was wrong with him, as his manhood is intact.
He just lied against a poor woman, a mother, a daughter, and a wife. Now the video of her being beaten and stripped naked is all over the internet. Does this make any sense? Why embark on self-help? why jungle justice? We are hunting for everybody on that video and they will be arrested and dealt with in accordance with the law alongside the suspect.”
On interrogation, the young man said he later found that his manhood was intact adding that it just felt smaller in size.
