There are indications that suspected ritual killers and alleged magicians may have re-surfaced in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja and its environs.
This is just as a certain man suspected to have ‘stolen’ another man’s manhood at a popular market in Madalla, a suburb of the FCT at the weekend, was beaten to stupor by irate mob.
The unidentified suspect, who came from Suleja, was said to have alighted from an unmarked vehicle and pretended to be buying fairly used clothes and in the process, intentionally hit a passer-by.
An eyewitness, Shehu Yakubu, who spoke to Daily Trust, said “The man pretended as if he had fallen down and in the process brushed the victim with his shoulder.
“The young man raised an alarm about the disappearance of his manhood few minutes later.
“Some people chased the suspect and stopped him from leaving the market.
“The suspect denied stealing the manhood and the mob that had already gathered, descended on him beating him into a stupor, until members of the vigilante group rescued him.”
Yakubu added that the man later confessed and ‘did another routine’ and the victim’s manhood was ‘restored.’
Reports allege that members of the vigilante group later took the suspect and the victim to the police station.
Meanwhile, the incidents of ‘disappearing manhood’ attributed to certain magical powers, surface from time to time when strangers touch or shake hands with a person allegedly bestowed with such powers.
A police officer at the station who pleaded anonymity, reportedly said the suspect would soon be charged to court as efforts to reach the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of Madalla division were not successful.
The unnamed officer said the victim’s manhood was not missing when he was brought to the station.
