Three alarmists have been arrested in Abuja over a fake alarm on alleged disappearance of male organ.
The suspects were apprehended by men of the Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This was made known on Wednesday in Abuja by the Commissioner of Police in charge of the FCT, Mr Garba Haruna.
While addressing newsmen, Mr Haruna disclosed that personnel of the command nabbed the suspects on Oct. 15 following a distress call that one Alhaji Tijani Yakubu of Kabusa village was being lynched by irate youths.
It was gathered that one Emmanuel Danladi had alleged that his male organ was made to disappear by Alhaji Yakubu.
The victim was swiftly rescued by police operatives from Kabusa Division, Haruna disclosed.

“The suspect and the victim were subsequently taken to the hospital for medical attention and examination, unfortunately Yakubu was confirmed dead by the medical doctor on duty.
“However, the male genital of Danladi who raised the false alarm that his penis had disappeared was confirmed intact and active by the medical doctor.
“Danladi is in custody along with two others who resorted to mob action resulting in the death of Yusuf,” he said.
In a related development, the commissioner said operatives of the Command had trailed and arrested a suspected informant and logistics supplier to kidnappers.
He said the suspect was arrested on Oct. 17 by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Command following credible intelligence.
Haruna said the suspect had confessed to being an informant and food supplier to the bandits terrorising Mpape, Bwari and Byazhin axis of Abuja during interrogation.
“For carrying out these tasks, the suspect has been rewarded with a payment of N15, 000 by the bandits.
“The suspect is cooperating with the police to arrest other gang members at large,” he said.
He said the suspect was also a close associate to the wanted bandit leaders in the area, adding that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of investigation.
