ABIDJAN - Angry mobs burned or beat to death two alleged sorcerers in Ivory Coast's commercial capital Abidjan after a shrinking or disappearing penis scare spread from neighbouring Ghana.
Police ordered all impromptu gatherings in the city dispersed.
Rioters say sorcerers simply touch them and make their penises shrink or vanish by witchcraft to extort cash in return for a cure. Similar cases have been reported in Ivory Coast in recent weeks.
