A woman sustained multiple injuries and bruises after she was brutally assaulted by a mob over alleged manhood theft in Jos, Plateau State.
It was gathered that the incident happened on Monday, July 21, after a drunk man accused her of stealing his manhood.
According to eyewitnesses, the man raised an alarm, claiming that the woman touched him and his manhood suddenly disappeared.
A mob quickly gathered and descended on her, beating her with sticks, woods and any object they could lay their hands on.
One of the witnesses said the mob was about to set the woman ablaze when some people who know the woman intervened.
The people who knew the woman insisted on checking the accuser’s body to ascertain that he was saying the truth.
Upon inspection, his manhood was confirmed to be intact.
A resident, Mohammed Sallahuddeen Junior and three women visited the victim in the hospital where she is currently receiving medical treatment.

“Bruised, beaten, weak and fragile, we were able to locate the lady yesterday and took her to the hospital for treatment. The family will be taking the case up to be thoroughly investigated and will do everything in their capacity to see that the truth prevail. Thank you to Amina Gamaliel Benedicta Ayodele Bigwan and Nanchin Arkibus Damap for coming along,” he wrote.
