SEX WORKER STABS CLIENT TO DEATH IN LAGOS
A sex worker, Joy Kelvin, has allegedly stabbed a 48-year-old man identified simply as Okafor to death at 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.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed this in a statement on Monday, disclosed that the late Okafor had brought Kelvin to his house to spend the night.
He stated that the deceased’s friend, however, reported at the Ilasan Police Division at about 7 am that he was stabbed to death by the suspect.
He added that a team of police detectives visited the scene, took photographs, and evacuated the corpse to the morgue for autopsy.
He wrote, “Today, October 7, 2024, at approximately 07:20 am, a complainant reported at Ilasan Division that earlier that day at about 05:32 hours, he received a call from a friend stating that Okafor, a 48-year-old male and also his friend, was stabbed in his house at Jakande Housing Estate, Lekki, Lagos, by Joy Kelvin, a female prostitute he had brought home overnight.
“The victim was rushed to General Hospital, Marina, Lagos, where he was pronounced dead by the doctor on duty. Following the report, detectives from the division promptly visited the scene, took photographs, evacuated the corpse, and deposited it at General Hospital Morgue, Yaba, for preservation and autopsy.”
Hundeyin further stated that the suspect had been arrested while efforts were underway to locate the deceased’s family members. “The investigation is ongoing,” the statement concluded.
