Four in police custody for unlawful circumcision
The suspects were nabbed after police, and a traditional leader received a tip about an illegal initiation school operating at Ngolo locality.
On their unannounced arrival, police found two initiates aged 17 and 18; two bogus traditional surgeons with their two assistants who were arrested with immediate effect.
“The suspects arrested aged between (18 – 35) will be charged with unlawful circumcision. The two initiates were handed over to their parents, and the initiation school was demolished.
“Parents are urged and have been urged to take full responsibility for the lawful circumcision of their sons in lawful initiation schools; hence, these illegal/unlawful initiation schools mostly result in unnecessary deaths,” said Matyolo.
