He disclosed that it took the intervention of Police operatives to prevent the loss of life and property in each situation.
According to the police boss, the suspects, who claimed their male reproductive organs had disappeared were taken to the hospital where the medical doctors confirmed that their male organs were intact and active.
He added that the suspects were, “Consequently charged to court for giving false information and inciting public disturbance,” just as he appealed to residents to warn their wards and children to desist from raising such false alarm.

He also advise FCT residents to be wary of the kind of vehicles they board, stating: “It is advised that they should board painted taxis from designated motor parks.
