FOUR females have recently been hospitalized at Kilu’ufi provincial hospital in Auki after an attempt to narrow or tighten their private part by herbal medicine had gone wrong.
Supervising PPC Malaita, superintendent Lesley Kili told this paper yesterday following information his office received from Kilu’ufi hospital on the incident.
He said his office was aware of the incident, but no formal complaint was raised to police to put matter under investigation.
Kili said the incident recently happened when 4 females applied a mixed substance of Alite leaf and lime-stone to their reproductive organs.
He said the intention was to narrow or tighten their private part, but instead it turned catastrophic by burning their private parts and got hospitalized for it.
Kili said further details on who advised the victims for the medication, where and when they applied it will not reveal due to the sensitivity of the matter.
He said that the females are recovering at the hospital.
According to PPC Kili, a similar incident reported in Auki last month when a number of males hospitalized after attempt to enlarge their private part had gone wrong.
He said it alleged that the males used silicon and other substances by injecting it into their private part to enlarge.
Kili said Auki police is aware of the incident and they are treating it only as information.
He warned that if formal complaint is raised to police, they will team-up with parents and Kilu’ufi to launch full investigation into the matter.
Kili appealed to those who behind the injection to stop the activity now. He said if investigation is call, they will arrest those involved for the activity.
He called upon parents and health workers to report to the police if encounter similar problems in their communities and families
Kili called on both male and female to refrain from and such activity, which will only jeopardize their health as experienced in the two incidents.
He also appealed to parents and other community stakeholders in the province to discourage young people from such activity.
