According to a report by Vanguard on September 18th, 2023, there have been incidents of male private part theft in Calabar, Cross River State. These activities have been occurring for three weeks and have now extended to the Nigerian Navy Barracks in Akim. In one particular incident, a naval officer, whose name was not disclosed, was stationed at the entry point of the barracks when a young man named Samuel entered. Samuel was directed to the sentry point for security screening.
During the interaction between Samuel and the sentry officer, the naval officer reportedly felt a sensation similar to an electric shock around his genitals. Upon touching the area, he realized that his private part had disappeared. This led to the naval officer raising an alarm, and Samuel was apprehended and beaten. The naval officer and others present demanded that Samuel return the missing genital immediately.
It is worth noting that the alleged genital thief neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the disappearance of the private part, nor did he indicate whether he would return it.
