The
operatives of the Nigerian Police in
Lagos state, have rescued a commercial worker whose neck was tied in a rope by
her client as he almost suffocated her to death.
The Police in Lagos on Monday said
that they rescued a commercial s*x worker from a client in a hotel room,
following an attempted murder.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr
Imohimi Edgal, said that the police prompt response to distress call from a
worker at Wellwood Hotel, Ajangbadi, Lagos led to the rescue of victim and
arrest of the suspect.
Imohimi said: “On the May 24 at
about 12:35 a.m, a distress call was received from Wellwood Hotel. The duty
officer that night at Ilemba Hausa Division, quickly went to the hotel where he
found one Faith, a commercial s*x worker, with severe injuries on her neck.
“The victim claimed that on same
date at about 12:15 a.m., the suspect came to her hotel room. After sleeping
with her, he brought out a rope, tied it around her neck and pulled her down.
“He also tried to suffocate her by
blocking her mouth and nostrils with a pillow. She was, however, rescued by a
staff of the hotel who heard noise in her room as she struggled for life.
“This suspect was arrested and the
rope with which he nearly killed the girl was recovered from him.”
The CP said that the suspect was yet
to tell the police his motive for attempting to murder the victim.
In a similar development, a 25-year
old man was also arrested for luring a woman to a hotel in Lagos, where she was
drugged and raped.
Edgal said that the suspect invited
the victim to De-Didos Hotel on March 4 where the crime was committed.
“The suspect was said to have stolen
one Infinix Note 3 phone, one Nokia touch phone, one voter’s card and
disappeared ever since.
“Based on this development,
detectives investigating the case tapped into our robust partnership with community
members and hoteliers in the area.
“They circulated the suspect’s
details to hotels in the area and to all nooks and crannies of Ajangbadi.
“This paid off on May 25 when the
suspect went to one of the hotels to lodge and he was promptly arrested by the
operatives of the Command,” he said.
The CP further advised members of
the public to be mindful of who they interact with on the social media.
“The youths should be wary of those
luring them with promises of gift and better life and must always seek the
advice of their parents at all times about people making promises to them,’’ he advised.
