A mild drama played out in Delta state at the weekend when some
commercial sex workers reportedly attacked their customers over unpaid
bills.
In the cause of the brawl at a certain popular cable point
base of commercial sex workers in Asaba, the state capital, it was said
that the commercial sex workers had resolved to increase their charges
and had warned their customers who do not want to comply to steer clear
of them but this was not to be as the victims claimed they were not put
in the know of the new charges.
An eye witness, Ngozi Njeh told
Leadership that a round of sex which used to be N1,000.00 was increased
to N2,000 while a night stand often called ‘Day Break’ which used to be
N5,000 was increased to N8,000.
It was further gathered that trouble started when the victims entered
into one of the brothels as usual and upon negotiations with the
commercial sex workers, they agreed to pay for a night at N8, 000 each.
According
to one of the commercial sex workers, identified as Anabel Onweh, “The
victims agreed to pay us N8, 000 each and we took them in, after using
us, the following morning they were giving us N4, 000 as against our
bargain and we decided to attack them and beat them mercilessly because
we know what brought us to this brothel.”
However, investigations
revealed that the victims were allegedly subjected to drinking the water
used in washing private part after their clothes had been torn, with
injuries inflicted on them before Police at the A-Division came to their
rescue.
The matter was thereafter reported at the A-Division
Police Station, when an officer, who gave his name simply as Raphael,
said, “We moved into the brothel with our men when we heard a shouting
match between the commercial sex workers and their customers.
Raphael added that upon interrogations, it was discovered that the said
customers refused to pay their bills, stressing that the matter was
eventually resolved amicably, based on the sex workers’ terms.
