The two then introduced Tanko to the Imam, hoping to secure a sleeping place for him. However, the Imam said the stranger could not sleep inside the mosque.

The friends then suggested that Tanko should sleep outside the mosque, as others have been doing, and leave at dawn.

According to Tayabu, one of the arrested, after securing a place for Tanko, bought some rice and were eating when all of a sudden, they both realised their manhoods were shrinking.

They suspected Tanko of foul play and screamed to draw the attention of bystanders, who immediately pounced on the Ivorian and beat him to a pulp.

The police arrived at the scene shortly and rescued Tanko. His accusers were also arrested.

Tanko has been admitted to the Ada East District Hospital for his injuries.
