Claims of missing genitals false – Police

The Ghana Police Service says that the claims of missing genitals in parts of the country are false.

To that end, the Police have arrested nine persons across the country for the Publication of False News over the alleged disappearance of their genitals that led to fear and panic among the public and attacks on innocent citizens.

Six persons have been arrested in Kasoa, in the Central Region, two in Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra Region, and another in Nkawkaw, in the Eastern Region, for making such false claims of missing genitals.

Five have been arraigned before court with three remanded into Police custody and two granted bail. The rest are on Police inquiry bail and would soon be arraigned before court.

“Police investigations, including medical examinations, disclosed that all the claims are false.
