A witness, Ibrahim Musa, who confirmed the incident to the Daily Trust on Tuesday, said that the cyclist picked up a passenger from Old Karu heading to Nyanya in the area last Thursday, around 5:12pm.
He said the passenger shortly
after he alighted from the bike raised an alarm that his manhood had
disappeared, which attracted the attention of some people.
He said a mob immediately
descended on the cyclist with sticks and other harmful objects, adding that
some passersby later rescued him and took him to a nearby hospital.
According to the witness, the
passenger was also taken to a hospital in Nyanya to confirm his claim of losing
his manhood.
“Unfortunately, the cyclist
later died at the hospital he was taken to before security men arrived at the
scene,” he said.
The spokeswoman of the FCT
police command, SP Adeh Josephine, who confirmed the latest incident, said all
the cases of missing male organs were false alarms, and that many people had
been charged in court on such allegations.
“The CP has been urging
residents to promptly report such cases to the police station as it is criminal
to engage in jungle justice; those found culpable will face strict legal
consequences,” the PPRO added.
