A dwarf, simply identified as Anayo, was at the weekend mobbed in Enugu for allegedly causing a man’s manhood to disappear after shaking him, The Vanguard reports.
Anayo was beaten up by an irate mob before policemen rescued him.
A statement by police spokesman Ebere Amaraizu said the victim gave his name as Sunday Ebubechukwu, of Obiagu axis, Ogui Enugu.
Ebubechukwu allegedly raised an alarm, which attracted sympathisers to the scene at Obiagu, saying someone who he shook hands with might have caused his manhood to disappear. The people descended on Anayo and beat him up before policemen from Ogui intervened.
Amaraizu said: “The Enugu State Police Command, through its operatives at Ogui Division, is trying to unravel the mystery of a missing male organ. Investigation has begun.”
