Penis theft panic hits city..
Wed Apr 23, 2008 1:06pm EDT
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.
Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.
Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.
"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.
"I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.
"But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'," he said.
Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.
"It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny," said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.

Hmm, I once had a blind date with someone that had that same effect on me. I wonder if she was a sorcerer? |

Let's not turn this into a sex thread. I had reservations about leaving the original post because of that reason. I'll leave it, but if it becomes another sexually oriented thread, it will be deleted. |

Actually, I seem to recall a series of posts on this same topic a couple of years ago. For some reason, this is an ongoing and established superstition in some parts of Africa.

So, they got a glimpse of reality regarding their self?
Shows what superstitions & beliefs can do to individuals and the masses
Sounds better than 'Honey, I've got ..... (some STD)
Although it could be side effect of Peyronie�s Disease (but never heard of sorcery as a possible cause or method of transmission) |

There was a wave of penis panic in Sudan in late 2003. This is from the text of an article I saved at the time:
Quote: |
In September 2003, mass hysteria spread through Khartoum, the capital of Sudan... The panic was caused by rumours of foreigners roaming the city and shaking men's hands, making their penises disappear. The rumours were spread rapidly by text messages on cellular phones... Several versions circulated; not all involved foreigners. Initially, it was claimed that the perpetrators belonged to a Sudanese tribe; in another version, one West African man was responsible; later, the one man was replaced with a group of West Africans. Al-Quds Al-Arabi correspondent Kamal Hassan Bakhit... wrote that "the source of the horror is a foreigner from a West African country who is roaming through the city marketplace and draining men's virility via a handshake" and that "people are refusing to shake hands with anyone they don't know." Police had received numerous complaints about someone called 'Satan's Friend,' and had arrested a foreigner who had in his possession scarves, books on sorcery, and two million Sudanese pounds (about $1,500).
Two of the "victims" agreed to tell their story to the London-based Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi. One of them, fabric merchant S. K. A., said that a man from a West African tribe came into his shop to buy fabric, but an argument quickly developed between the two. Then the West African shook the store owner's hand powerfully until the owner felt his penis melt into his body. The store owner became hysterical, and was taken to the hospital.
While the majority of accounts involved handshaking, another victim, who refused to give his name, said that while he was at the market, a man approached him, gave him a comb, and asked him to comb his hair. When he did so, within seconds, he said, he felt a strange sensation and discovered that he had lost his penis. It was also claimed that once "'Satan's Friend' drains a man's virility," he demands that his victim pay him over four million Sudanese pounds (about $3,000) to get it back. |
Interesting to note that the Sudanese mainly blamed West Africans, considering what's just happened. |

I posted this link in the "links" thread, with the comment that I really want to try to send a lad there on safari, and get him to hold up some kind of sign that implies that he's the penis shrinker.
I'll buy a pint for the first person who can do this! |

What if?
What if we create a website to prevent the stealing of penises ( or is it peni). We could have all sorts of cures listed on it.
Or, we could have them sign up for a newsletter of chants, curses and cures. They would have to use their current email address and a password to sign up for the newsletter.
What are the chances that they would use their actual password to their email accounts? I don't know about anyone else but it sure would be fun to poke around in their email accounts.
It's a thought...... |

@Chibuike and newdonym, we do not discuss hacking in any shape or form on Eater. It is illegal, and can get us into trouble.
Normally I would lock this thread because the discussion of hacking is breaking the rules, but since it is a productive thread on a different subject, I'll leave it open provided that the rules are not broken again. |
