A 22-year-old truck pusher, identified as
Samuel Akuro, is now in the hospital under
the watchful eyes of the police for allegedly
stabbing a female prostitute to death in the
oil-rich city of Warri, Delta State.
The suspect, it was gathered, also stabbed
himself out of fear of the mob, when it
dawned on him that his victim had died.
Sources gathered that the incident started
when the truck pusher visited a brothel
along Okere road and approached two ladies,
who separately turned him down.
Sources disclosed that the prostitutes
refused Samuel because he did not have
money, though he was well known as a
regular customer.
Unperturbed, Samuel, it was learnt, relocated
to another brothel at No 26, two buildings
away from the first one where his advances
were again rejected until he saw the
deceased, who had been his regular customer
and had also rejected his move.
“It was at this stage that Samuel became
angry and drew a bottle, broke it and stabbed
the girl. When he realized that the girl was
dying and there was a surging crowd
advancing towards the hotel, Samuel, afraid
of being mobbed, stabbed himself with the
aim of committing suicide,” a security source
disclosed.
We learnt that the stabbed prostitute was
later rushed to the Warri Central Hospital
where she gave up the ghost while doctors
and nurses were battling to save her.
The suspect was apprehended by security
men from “A” Division Police, Warri, and was
taken to the Warri Central Hospital for
treatment.
We observed, during a visit to the Hospital
on Friday, that the suspect was hand-cuffed
to a stretcher as a result of his ‘violent
nature’.
