Mob sets houses, church ablaze over ‘missing genital’


 Five houses and a church known as Divine Shadow have been set ablaze by some youth at Daudu in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State over allegation of missing genitals.

The youth had on Saturday protested round the town because of the allegation.

The acting Tyoor of Guma, Chief Chado Oliva, had said the youth could not produce any victim alleged to have lost his manhood.

It was learnt that the youth on Tuesday went on rampage, destroying the property of a man accused of causing the disappearance.

One Nongu Francis, who claimed to have lost his manhood, said the incident happened in October.

Francis alleged that no fewer than six people have had their genitals disappeared in the past few years.

He said, “But I am the only victim of missing organ this year and as I talk to you the actual person responsible for the mysterious penis disappearance has committed suicide.”

The Vice Chairman of the Guma LGA, John Onyigbo, told journalists that some youth set ablaze a church and some buildings belonging to an alleged sponsor of genitals disappearance.
