The city of Calabar, Cross River State, is in a state of anxiety and apprehension following several reports of the disappearance of male private parts in parts of the city.
Over the past two weeks, there have been several alleged cases of male organs disappearing following a handshake or body contact with strangers. More than ten cases have been reported.

According to a report by Vanguard, a resident was able to provide the reason for the sudden demand for male private parts.
“An organ was said to be sold for six hundred thousand naira last week,” Chibuike, a spare parts dealer told Vanguard. “But owing to market forces and high demand, the price has gone up to one million per organ.”

He said the organs are used for ritual purposes to make money and more people will fall victim if nothing drastic is not done by the authorities to stop the ugly state of events in the city.
“People now put bitter kola in their pockets or hold their private organs tightly while walking on the street or inside commercial vehicles,” he added.
However, Chibuike neglected to mention how he happened to have such inside information about organ consumerism.
Cases of organ disappearance are said to have occurred at Atimbo, Ekpo Abasi, 8 Miles, Watt Market, Atakpa Street, and some other places in the city. Over ten cases are said to have taken place. And while some organs have been returned to the victims by the perpetrators, others were lost forever.
“It happened in my area, State Avenue by Afokang this morning,” Blessing Ngi, a resident of Calabar South said. “Someone lost his penis and it took the severe beating of the snatcher before he returned the organ.”
However, the Cross River Police Command Spokesman, Ms Irene Ugbo said there is no such thing as the theft of male private parts in the city.
“Have you seen anyone whose private part was stolen? Bring him here for a medical examination. People should discountenance the rumours and go about their normal businesses.” She stressed.
