Sunday Ebube Linus, a teenager, was detained by the Delta State Police Command on Wednesday for making a false report over the disappearance of his manhood.
Linus’ arrest was confirmed by the Delta State Police spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, who also cautioned the people against using “jungle justice” to punish offenders or criminals.
“On Sunday, October 8th, 2023 at DBS Road Asaba, this 18-year-old suspect Ebube Linus raised a false alarm that an elderly woman inside a tricycle touched him and his manhood (penis) disappeared,” Edafe said on X (previously Twitter).

“Over 100 misguided touts gathered and mobbed this woman, stripping her naked and beating her to a stupor to the point of almost killing her.
“The Command was contacted and the DPO GRA division Asaba led policemen to the scene, rescued the woman, and arrested the suspect who we later discovered that nothing was wrong with him, as his manhood is intact.”
Edafe added that Linus just lied against “a poor woman, a mother, a daughter and a wife and now, the video of her being beaten and stripped naked is all over the internet.”
“Does this make any sense? Why embark on self-help? why jungle justice?,” Edafe asked.
He added that the Police is hunting for people in the video to be arrested and prosecuted alongside Linus who is the suspect.
