A free annual circumcision service begins again on Friday, says Mohamed Zubairu from Swift Private Engineering Ltd. 'There are about 16 boys this year. Previously we've had more, but the number is decreasing.'

This round of circumcisions is being held during the school holiday period and is for low-income families.

The circumcisions will take place, as in previous years, at the Urban Centre. Preparations are nearly complete.
