Benue Government Imposes Curfew As Violence Escalates Over Missing Male Sεx Organs

Benue State Government on Wednesday imposed a 12-hour curfew on Daudu community after days of unrest caused by allegations of missing missing genitals at Guma Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that young men in Daudu town were on on rampage last week after complaining about missing male reproductive organs at an alarming rate.

The irate youths who claimed some members of the community were responsible for their missing organs, had attacked a police station, threatening to burn it down over the development.

While speaking with journalists in Makurdi on Wednesday, The Chairman of Guma LGA, Caleb Aba, said a curfew has been imposed between 8:00pm to 6:00am daily until the security situation improved and calm was restored.

“The reason we imposed curfew is that the youths in the Daudu community have raised alarm and accused certain persons of removing their genitals; male and female organs.

“They went ahead to burn down the properties of those they suspected and even killed a pastor of the church whom they accused of being responsible.

“We talked to them and pleaded with them to allow the law to take its course. Even the governor of the state went there himself to talk to them.

“But last Monday, the youths mobilized and went to police station in Daudu and threatened to burn it down accusing one other man whom they beat to a state of unconsciousness while accusing him of removing someone’s genital organ

“So it became too much and it appeared they will cause more destruction if they are allowed to be moving about freely.

“That calls for the position of curfew in the community, from 8:00pm to 6:00am. It will last as long as they are ready to rest,” he said.

Aba further disclosed that a motorcyclist popularly known as Okada rider had been arrested for raising the false alarm that he picked a passenger who touched him and his genital disappeared.

KanyiDaily had also reported how the police rescued a dwarf from being lynched by an angry mob who accused him of causing the disappearance of the manhood of a man whom he shook hands with at Obiagu axis of Ogui community in Enugu State.
