A woman simply identified as Ms Confidence and believed to be a commercial sex worker has been reportedly killed at a popular brothel in Ughelli, headquarters of Ughelli North local government area of Delta State.
The deceased was stabbed and strangled by yet-to-be identified persons.
Sources said the victim was found dead in her room in the brothel after she failed to show up to join her colleagues to scout for customers.
The incident which happened at the weekend triggered pandemonium in the area as panic-stricken colleagues of the deceased are said to have fled the area.
“Her colleagues were waiting for her outside as they were looking for customers but they didn’t see her. They now went to knock at her door and it was when they opened the door that they found her dead in her room,” a source who craved anonymity said.
When contacted, the police public relations officer of the state command, Mr. Bright Edafe confirmed the incident saying, “she was stabbed on the stomach and strangled.”
He said the police has commenced investigation into the matter, adding that no arrest has so far been made.
