The FCT Police Command has dismissed the reports that the organs of 14 residents were missing.
The Police Commissioner in the FCT, Mr Haruna Garba, said the alarm was found to be untrue after medical examination was conducted on each of those who raised the alarm.
Garba made this known on Tuesday while briefing newsmen in Abuja on the command’s achievements in the fight against crime.
He added that the 14 persons involved were currently being prosecuted following the confirmation of their lies.
“They are being prosecuted for giving false information and inciting public disturbances.
“The false alarm had also misled the Police in dealing with mob action which were carried out against more than 10 accused persons in the FCT in the past few weeks.”
Garba said the command was informed of more than 10 cases, mostly around Garshi, Gwagwalada and the Kwali areas of the FCT, adding that some of these escalated into mob action by the youths.
The police chief, however, said that no life was lost in the reported incidents.
“The FCT Police Command has recorded over 10 cases of alleged disappearance of male organs across the territory and the escalating incidents of mob action by irate youths.
“It took the intervention of the Police Command to prevent the loss of lives and property and restore law and order.
“Fourteen suspects who claimed that their male organs had disappeared were taken to the hospital where the medical doctor confirmed that their organs were intact and active.
“Consequently, they were charged to court for giving false information and inciting public disturbance,” he said.
