Sagamu: Police Found Four Dead Bodies In Ogun Cultist, Ogunkemaya's Room

The Sokoto State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has said it is currently investigating the killing of a lady at a brothel in Kwanawa, Sokoto metropolis.

Naija News learnt from the command’s report that the commercial s3x worker was killed by a man after an argument ensued between them over money.

Sources in the area had told newsmen earlier that the victim is well known in the brothel where the suspected murderer slit her throat with a knife.

Giving a hint on the incident which happened in the Dange/Shuni Local Government Area of the state, residents told The PUNCH that the alarm raised by the victim’s colleagues alerted the hotel and passers-by that acted swiftly to apprehend the suspect when he attempted to run away after discovering that the victim was dead.

In his submission, after learning about the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sanusi Abubakar told newsmen that the suspect claimed to be a researcher who visited Sokoto State to carry out research.

According to him, the suspect decided to spend the night with the victim but said that trouble started when the suspect paid the victim N1,000.

The victim reportedly rejected the money considering it as being small, which resulted in a hot argument between them.

Quoting the suspect, Abubakar said the victim brought out a knife that he (the suspect) used to stab her after he overpowered her.

Abubakar, however, said the case had been transferred to the homicide section of the Command for proper investigation.
