Panic as LG boss confirms disappearance of manhood in Ebonyi.
Chairman of Ohaukwu local government area in Ebonyi State, Ikechukwu Odono, has confirmed the disappearance of a man's manhood in the area.
He said that stakeholders and traditional rulers from Nsturakpa-Izia have convened a meeting to address the incident .
Odono, who disclosed this while reacting on the incident stated that except one, other cases were mere allegations by hoodlums trying to hijack the unfortunate situation to cause mayhem.
According to him, the perpetrator of the confirmed manhood disappearance is already in police custody, adding that the victim has also been placed on medical treatment in order to restore/ revive his manhood.
He said: "The issue about the disappearance of manhood, precisely at Ezzangbo is quite unfortunate. Last week, we got information that one man from Nsturakpa in Izzia, that his manhood disppeared after having a handshake with another youth at Nsturakpa.
"After the incident, the community and the youths gathered but to no avail. The man's manhood is yet to appear and no where to be found, but after everything, the suspect was taking to the police and the victim was taking to the hospital".
"But in the local government area, we have put up measures because the news is everywhere, including the social media. However, the Ezzangbo people have continued to look for the manhood.
"We have fixed a meeting with the chiefs and the tranditional rulers to curb this menace because it is really disturbing. After the first encounter, we have three or four, but after investigation, we found out that it was only the first one that is real.
"The rest is that when people feel unusual, they will say they are missing their manhood. But after thorough investigation, it is only the first one that is real. The rest are lies. But we have put everything in place to make sure that we stop this, because people are using the first one that happened to cause problem.
"Sometimes, when you are not in good terms with somebody, if the person just touch you, you will say your penis has disappeared and they will start beating the person, People are using it against each other. They are using it to settle scores with perceived enemies.
"After the meeting with with chiefs and stakeholders, I believe it will stop becaue we are going to put up a strong measure against it.
"I advise the people of Ohaukwu local government area to go about their normal businesses. They should know that it is only the first one that is true. Sometimes, people will say they do not have handshake again because when you shake somebody, your manhood will disappear. It is not true and we are doing everything medically possible to ensure he regains his manhood", he assured.
