Be careful who you shake hands with. They may be a penis snatcher.
Suspected Penis Snatcher Beaten to Death
BANJUL, Gambia (Reuters) - A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a man's penis through sorcery was beaten to death in the West African country of Gambia, police said.
A police spokesman told Reuters that Baba Jallow was killed Thursday by about 10 people in the town of Serekunda, nine miles from the capital Banjul.
Reports of penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, with purported victims claiming that alleged sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear in order to extort cash in the promise of a cure.[Yahoo! News]
The report goes on to say that because of this many men in Serekunda are afraid to shake hands. Now the big question is this. Can't they just like, look and see that it isn't really gone?
