In Agasha community of Guma local government area in Benue state, about 17 men and women have reportedly
lost their private parts as they claimed that it mysteriously went missing.
According to Daily Trust, the 17 men and women are protesting over the alleged missing private genital organs in the community.
The villagers revealed that some people in the vicinity lost their genitals within the space of one month to the activities of some suspected ritualists within the community. They further disclosed that the organs were restored after a Parish Priest of St. Michael’s Catholic Parish in Agasha prayed for them.
Anthony Shawon who is the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Guma LGA, reportedly said over the phone that there were no evidence to justify the claims of missing organs.
“I was there (Agasha) two days ago and held meetings with the traditional rulers, elders, youths and women groups among others of the community about this matter.
“They brought 14 people whose organs were allegedly missing from a Catholic church where they were now receiving prayers for restoration. And I asked the Reverend Father if he had confirmed that their genitals were missing and the Father said he hasn’t inspected them but praying for them. I then physically inspected two of them and found their manhood intact.
“I don’t know what this is all about. In fact, I’m not involved. Maybe they are reasoning spiritually. None of the women making the claims agreed to be inspected. We have held series of meeting even today (Wednesday) with the elders.
“I’m told that five members of the community who they (villagers) are suspecting have been arrested as we speak and taken to the police headquarters. But, there are no evidence to justify these missing manhood,” Anthony Shawon said.
