Prostitutes Escape As Man Dies Inside Short-Time Brothel

Until last Tuesday, T & K International Hotel, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos State, was a place where fun seekers visit to drink and satisfy their sexual desires.

But the death of a customer, popularly known as Jereke, who passed the night at the brothel on the fateful day has changed the fortune of the place.

The prostitutes and customers have deserted the place and the brothel has been shut by the police.

As the news of the sad incident filtered in the neighbourhood, scores of people have been converging on the brothel to discuss the issue.

 

 

 

 

It was gathered that Jereke was a commercial bus driver, plying Iyana Ipaja/Igando Road in Lagos and a regular caller at the brothel.

It was gathered that on the fateful day, the driver, after the day’s work had gone to the brothel to unwind. It was further learnt that Jereke having had some booze, reportedly slept in the brothel.

Although it could not be ascertained if he slept with any of the prostitutes that night, it was learnt that he died in the brothel.

A resident, who craved anonymity for fear that he might be identified, said neighbours were awoken by a noise from the place in the early hours of Tuesday.

A trader on the street, who also declined to give his name, said he might have been poisoned by one of the prostitutes, who probably capitalised on his state of stupour.

“The man went in there after working for the day. Mark you, the man was a driver. He must have come into the brothel with all the money he made for the day. Those prostitutes cannot be trusted; he could have been poisoned to collect the money on him,” he said.

The Lagos state police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, did not answer her call. Two text messages sent to her phone were not responded to as of press time.
