The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has cautioned residents against spreading false information about alleged disappearance of male organs in the territory.
The command gave the warning after an irate mob killed a yet-to-be-identified man accused of stealing a teenager’s manhood in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT.
