Nigerians are responding with outrage and concern following the arrest and subsequent disciplinary action ordered by the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi. This action was taken against certain Civil Defenders serving in the Provost Unit who were involved in the assault of a middle-aged man accused of stealing the manhood of two individuals in the Sauka area of Abuja.
The decision to arrest and initiate disciplinary proceedings against the implicated NSCDC personnel came in response to a viral video posted by LEADERSHIP on its social media platforms. The video depicted NSCDC officers manhandling the accused man within the premises of the Corps’ national headquarters in Abuja.

Meanwhile, a civil social organization known as The Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfAW) has called upon the Federal Government to intervene in the matter. AfAW urged the government to arrest and prosecute the NSCDC officers involved in the assault, emphasizing the need for justice.
The disturbing video footage showed NSCDC officers physically abusing the accused man and demanding that he “return” the allegedly stolen manhood without any proper verification of the theft claim. The man suffered physical injuries, including a swollen face and bleeding, as a result of the assault.
Leo Igwe, the leader of AfAW, condemned the officers’ behavior, highlighting the unprofessional conduct and disregard for the law displayed during the incident. He emphasized that superstition-based allegations, such as penis disappearance, have no basis in reality and should not serve as a justification for such horrific abuse.
AfAW called for the arrest and prosecution of all NSCDC officers involved in the incident, asserting that this action would serve as a deterrent and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future. The organization also urged the NSCDC and other state agencies to address institutional failures by providing training and reorientation programs for their officers to ensure they carry out their duties professionally and in compliance with the law.
The video has sparked a wider conversation among Nigerians about the need for law enforcement agencies to uphold human rights and conduct thorough investigations before resorting to physical abuse. Many are calling for justice and accountability in this case and similar incidents, stressing the importance of addressing superstitious beliefs and baseless allegations within society.

Case Background and Prosecution
The convicts were apprehended following a violent cult clash at the Ikenne Town Hall on October 23, 2023, which severely disrupted public peace and local activities.
Prosecuting officer ASP Olaide Rawlings established during the trial that Okusanya belonged to the Eiye Confraternity, while Gafar was affiliated with the Alora Confraternity, alongside other accomplices currently at large. Their actions violated several provisions of the Prohibition of Forcible Entry and Occupation of Landed Properties, Armed Robbery, Cultism, Kidnapping and Other Anti-Violent and Related Offences Law of Ogun State, 2016.
Finding the prosecution’s evidence credible and compelling beyond a reasonable doubt, Magistrate Oke delivered the sentence to serve as a strict deterrent against unlawful secret societies and violent disturbances in the state.
