Detectives at the Delta State command of the Nigeria Police Force in Asaba have arrested some prostitutes who “reportedly strangled their 'business partner” to death.
The deceased, identified as May-May, operated as a commercial sex worker in one of the brothels around Cable Point, Asaba, alongside her assailants who were said to have cello-taped her mouth during the process of her killing.
On Wednesday, commercial activities at the popular brothel where the prostitutes earn their living were paralyzed. The suspects were said to have been jealous because May-May had more customers than her colleagues. She was allegedly killed inside her room in the brothel where teenage girls positioned themselves to woo sex-hungry men.
May-May, sources said, wooed more patrons because of her humility and skimpy dress sense. Police sources informed that her assailants descended on her when they could no longer bear the drought of customers on their side.
According to ASP Charles Muka, the police spokesman in the state, May-May was strangled with a cable from her fan by her assailants, among whom was the ‘chairlady’ of the brothel, who claimed that one of the deceased’s customers perpetrated the act that night.
She said May-May was last seen entering her room with the customer but was found dead the following morning with the fan cable tied around her neck.
Following a report lodged at the police station, the manager of the brothel was arrested while the prostitutes took to their heels. But a few days later, two of the fleeing commercial sex workers were arrested by a mob as they attempted to board a taxi to escape from Asaba.
It was further gathered that the 'chairlady' has made useful statements to the police who are now working on her revelations.
A neighbour who pleaded anonymity told LEADERSHIP SUNDAY that although May-May was the newest entrant to the brothel, in barely two months, she had attracted many customers due to her beauty.
The brothel has been deserted, as are some houses in the neighbourhood for people feared arrest by the police.

It is a pity. There is no evil that would never come out of prostitution.

Ha! prostitutes! There's nothing they cant do. Any woman who has the mind to be a prostitute can commit any crime including robbery or murder.
I could say the same thing about police officers. I highly doubt any woman's dream is to sell her flesh. I can only imagine the destitution that would drive a woman to sell herself to some stinking fat slob just so she can stay alive in the world. I would also assume that sex is not tender between prostitution and client, I am sure those men make sure they get every cent out of the women they go to. Compassion is better than judgment.
May her soul find the peace in death she did not find in life.

fornication is the root causes of all evils in the society , the earlier the authority minimise it the better , its always one story or another on the daily basis , if its not a calabar man dying on a prostitur after the eleventh rounds , it will be a case of a harlout stabbing a customer or like this very Asaba latest incident, shameless wh*re

what do you mean by saying men men will make sure they get every cent they give out of woman , is that actually by experience ? prostitution in nigeria is not all that so new , i think the age of that sinful proffession is actually well above 50yrs and thats the trade has been on ever before we attained the independence , so why are you talking as if it started just in a recent time ?
