According to reports, there's obvious and significant unrest and anxiety in a hotel located on Nnebisi Road in Asaba, the capital city of Delta State, where a man, who appears to be an alleged internet fraudster popularly known as "yahoo boy," took to his heels after stabbing a prostitute to death and also burning the room where they lodged.
As a matter of fact, the sad incident was reportedly discovered after some eyewitnesses in the surrounding areas saw thick smoke coming out of the room lodged by the suspect and deceased, which frightened some residents of the region.
However, as disclosed by news reporters, a source said, "We don’t know the man; we don’t know what happened; but the girl is dead now." The man ran away after what he did. "We need the police to help arrest the man so he can face the law."
A source within the community who doesn't want to be identified added that "this should open up an inquest because why would the hotel staff allow someone who came along with someone to leave without that person?" Such an act is quite suspicious without much complications, but I hope the police get the evildoer and bring him to justice as soon as possible.
In furtherance, via a brief phone conversation with news reporters, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Bright Edafe, verified the occurrence and gave his word to give back detailed information of the whole incident after police investigators from the command carried out their job.
In the meantime, recounting a similar occurrence in the month of August 2022, a lady, who appeared to be a prostitute, was fatally stabbed and choked to death at a well-known brothel in Ughelli, the administrative centre of Ughelli North Local Government Area LGA, Delta state.
Specifically, the name of the decedent was given as "Confidence," whereby her remains were discovered in her brothel room after her colleagues grew suspicious when she returned to their location as usual to look for customers.
