- A sex worker has killed a trader with blade in Lagos State.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that tragedy struck at FESTAC Town in the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State as a trader, Sunday Emmanuel, was reported dead after a suspected sex worker, identified as Precious, allegedly slit his stomach with a blade.
It was gathered that Emmanuel had a makeshift shop on First Avenue, where he sold alcoholic drinks.
It was, however, learnt that the sex worker usually visited the spot at odd hours in search of customers.
Speaking on the incident on Monday, a car marketer, who identified himself only as Buchi, disclosed that around 4am on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, an argument ensued between Precious and Emmanuel.
He further revealed that the argument degenerated into a fight as the sex worker brought out a blade and slit the stomach of the 32-year-old Emmanuel.
Buchi said, “After perpetrating the crime, she boarded a motorcycle to escape. The guy who was attacked ran after her, but the injuries made him fall and he died, because his intestines came out.
“People thought she had escaped. But the motorcyclist, who witnessed the attack on Emmanuel, rode her to the FESTAC Police Station and handed her over to a policeman. I don’t know what caused the fight between her and the man,” he disclosed.
When contacted, the Manager of De Haven Hotel, who identified himself only as Mr Lucky, said the motorcyclist informed him about the incident.

The Hotel Manager said, “After he told me, I stepped out and saw a lot of people at the scene, which is opposite our hotel. The motorcyclist informed me because he knew the police might want to hold the hotel responsible for the death. He also wanted me to ensure that the police treated the case properly.
“When I got to the station, I saw the girl; she is a sex worker, and was not remorseful about what she did. Even when she was handcuffed, she was still not remorseful, until when they were transferring the case and she was told that she might never come back.
“The incident did not happen in the hotel, but opposite the hotel and my only saving grace was the motorcyclist who took her to the station and informed me. I learnt that she was taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba,” Lucky added.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, had yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
