A 48-year-old man, simply identified as Okafor, has been stabbed to death early Monday morning by a sex worker in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
The suspect, identified as Joy Kelvin, has been arrested by operatives of the Ilasan Divisional Police Station.
The Lagos State Police Command’s PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident to journalists, stating that Okafor died at the hospital where he was rushed for treatment after the stabbing.
It was gathered that the call girl became angry during the sexcapade when the deceased was said to have pounded her mercilessly to the extent she complained of feeling so hollow underneath, asking him to him a break. But the deceased would not hear, saying he needed to enjoy his money to the fullest.
According to the PPRO, the altercation occurred early morning of the next day after the deceased had taken Joy to his home. A disagreement ensued between them, leading to the fatal stabbing.
It was gathered that Okafor had taken the suspect to his house at Jakande Estate, Lekki, the previous evening after negotiating her fee.
Hundeyin explained: “Today, being 07/10/2024 at about 07:20 hours, a complainant reported at Ilasan Division that on the same day at about 05:32 hours, he received a call from one of his friends, informing him that Okafor, who was also his friend, had been stabbed at his house in Jakande Housing Estate, Lekki, by one Joy Kelvin, a prostitute he brought to his house overnight.”
He further stated that the victim was rushed to General Hospital, Marina, Lagos, where he was pronounced dead by the doctor on duty.
“The scene was promptly visited by detectives of the division,” Hundeyin said, adding that “photographs have been taken, and the corpse has been evacuated and deposited at the General Hospital morgue in Yaba for preservation and autopsy.”
The police PRO also confirmed that the suspect has been arrested, and efforts are ongoing to locate the family members of the deceased, even as investigation into the case is ongoing.///
