A yet-to-be identified man suspected to be a manhood thief was caught and beaten to a stupor in Lokoja, Kogi State.
An eyewitness, Idris Abubakar, who spoke to the Nigerian Tribune, said the incident happened on Tuesday when the suspect visited a shop behind Dunamis Church in Lokoja to buy bread.
The eyewitness disclosed that confusion started when the shop owner felt a sensational shock in his body and thereafter touched his manhood, only to discover that his manhood had disappeared.
Upon screaming and crying for help, neighbors and passersby attacked the suspect and gave him a thorough beating of his life.
The suspect confessed to the crime after the thorough beating and was compelled to restore the manhood of the shop owner.
Recently, the activities of manhood thieves have been on the rise in Kogi State, with many of their victims reportedly losing their manhoods.
In Karaworo and Ganaja areas of the state capital, Lokoja, suspected manhood thieves were also reportedly caught and beaten by angry mobs.
Also, on Wednesday morning in the Adankolo area of Lokoja, a boy selling doughnuts was said to have screamed after the disappearance of his manhood after being paid by a man who bought doughnuts from him.
Likewise, in another case at Ganaja Village, a passenger cried out after being touched by a fellow passenger in a tricycle, aka Keke, with the suspect already beaten blue and black but yet to accept responsibility for the action.
