The police in Sapele, yesterday, saved an hermaphrodite who is partly
man and partly woman, from being lynched by a mob, when the figure
suddenly showed up along New Ogorode road, by Total Filling Station, in
Sapele.
An eye witness said the incident led to traffic jam along
Sapele/Warri ever busy expressway and the New Ogorode road as commuters
and drivers stopped to catch a glimpse.
When Vanguard visited the scene, the fellow was completely
naked, with hair covering most part of the body and a mustached face
like a man but with a pair of big size breasts dangling on the chest as
well as female and male private parts side by side in the pubic area.
Shortly the crowd began to swell as more people trooped in to catch a
glimpse until some attempted to lynch the fellow but for the timely
intervention of the police who arrived the scene and whisked the fellow
away in a police car.
At the Sapele Police Area Office where the fellow was taken, he
identified himself as Pastor Henry Enuta but refused to disclose his
mission nor why he was naked. All efforts to get words from him by
newsmen failed as the fellow only occasionally shook his head
regretably.
The DPO of the Sapele Police Station, CSP Kenneth Akubue confirmed the rescue of the fellow.
