A naval officer stationed in Calabar, the capital of Cross River state, has sounded an alarm after his penis was reportedly stolen by individuals dubbed "private part thieves" in the area.
According to a report from Vanguard, the naval officer was on duty at the entrance of a military barracks when a young man named Samuel entered the barracks. He was subsequently directed to the sentry point for security checks.
Azeez, another naval personnel, recounted the incident, stating:
“When he got to the sentry point, he was asked whom he was looking for and his mission in the barracks but while he was talking with the sentry officer, the man felt an electric jolt around his genitals, and behold, when he touched the area, his private part had vanished.”
In response to the naval officer's distress, the young man was confronted and physically assaulted, with demands for the immediate return of the missing genital.
It was also reported that the alleged thief of the genital did not confirm whether he would return the missing organ and did not deny responsibility for its disappearance.
