A dusk to dawn curfew has been imposed in Daudu community of Guma Local Government Area of Benue State following violence sparked by allegations of the mysterious disappearance of male genitals in the area.
Chairman of the council Caleb Abba disclosed to newsmen by telephone on Wednesday that the curfew would run from 8.00 pm to 6:00 am on a daily basis until the security situation improves in the community.
Abba noted that it became necessary to impose curfew in the area following youth restiveness over the alleged disappearance of male genitals organ in the community.
He regretted that despite the intervention of the State Governor, Samuel Ortom, community leaders and security agencies to address the matter, youth in the community have continued peddling the unfounded allegation of missing genitals.
Abba disclosed that only last Monday, the youth invaded the Divisional Police Station in the community and attempted to burn it down over fresh false alarm of missing genitals.
The chairman said that a motorcyclist raised a false alarm on Monday about the mysterious disappearance of his genital had been arrested by the police.
It would be recalled that one Prophet Jacob Uhembe of Divine Shadow Church had been gruesomely murdered and all his property burnt down over allegations that he was responsible for missing genitals in the community.
