Lagos S*x Worker Stabs Client To Death Over Service Fee:
A Sex Worker, Joy Kelvin, has allegedly stabbed a 48-Year-Old Man Identified Simply As Okafor to death at the Jakande Housing Estate in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
The Incident was said to have occurred on Monday morning at about 5:30 am.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the late Okafor had brought Joy to his house to spend the night but an argument broke out between them the following morning over payment.
A Police Source who spoke to our correspondent, on the condition of anonymity as he was not allowed to speak on the matter, said the suspect attacked her client with a sharp object which led to his death.
“Okafor brought the sex worker home the night earlier. She demanded her fee when he was leaving in the morning but Okafor did not give her what they agreed. This led to an argument and Joy reached for a sharp object and stabbed him. Okafor became unconscious after the attack and later died.”
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the deceased’s friend lodged the report at the Ilasan Police Division in the area.
He added that a team of police detectives visited the scene, took photographs, and evacuated the corpse to the General Hospital Morgue, Yaba, for autopsy.
