The Chairmam of Guma local government area of Benue state Mr Caleb Ana has imposed a mandatory 12 hours curfew in the area after several reports of missing penises, in a move to maintain the peace and security of the local government.
It will be remembered that youths of Daudu town had complained last week about missing male reproductive organs at an alarming rate.
According to their complaints, some members of the community were allegedly responsible for their missing organs and have since been on rampage.
During an interactive session with newsmen on Wednesday, the chairman said the curfew will be between 8:00pm to 6:00am daily until the security situation improved and calm was restored.
In his words, he said
“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.”
