How UNN Student Killed Lady Over N15,000 Sex Fee –Police

The Enugu State Police Command has narrated how a 200-level student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Emmanuel Gambo, allegedly killed a lady, Deborah Ememem, whom he had invited to a hotel following an argument over the payment of N15,000 after a sex romp.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
According to Ndukwe, 22-year-old Deborah was discovered dead in the hotel room in the Nsuka area of the state, prompting an investigation into the cause of her death.
Ndukwe noted that the investigation revealed that the suspect had lodged in a hotel with the lady on June 14, 2025, during which they had rounds of sex.

The PPRO noted that an argument occurred after the lady allegedly requested an extra N15,000 to be added to the N5,000 they had initially agreed on.
He said, “The Enugu State Police Command wishes to inform the public that following an intensive, diligent, and intelligence-led investigation, detectives have arrested the male suspect in the murder of one Deborah Sam-Praise Ememem (female, aged 22), who was recently found dead in a hotel room in Nsukka. Her iPhone, tablet, earbuds, and other personal belongings were also successfully recovered. The 22-year-old male suspect, Emmanuel Gambo, hails from Kogi State.
“Findings revealed that on June 14, 2025, at about 9:00 p.m., the suspect, a second-year student of Material and Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, checked into a hotel in Obukpa, Nsukka, with the deceased.
“In the early hours of June 15, 2025, a dispute ensued after a second round of intercourse, during which the deceased allegedly demanded an additional N15,000 from the suspect, on top of the N5,000 earlier paid.” The disagreement turned violent, and the suspect strangled her to death.”

He added that after the suspect had allegedly strangled the lady to death, he wrapped her in a cloth and kept her under the hotel bed.
However, the foul smell from the decomposing body had alerted the hotel management, who informed the police.
Ndukwe added that the suspect, despite submitting a fake name and address, was, however, apprehended at his lodge in Nsukka with personal belongings of the deceased lady.
“The suspect then wrapped the deceased’s body in a towel and a curtain torn from the hotel room and hid it under the bed. On June 16, 2025, at about 9:00 a.m., the hotel staff perceived a foul odour coming from the room.

“However, acting on credible and painstakingly gathered intelligence, the police detectives located and arrested the suspect at his lodge in Nsukka on July 2, 2025. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime.
“The deceased’s iPhone was immediately recovered from him. A bottle of Asconi Agor red wine, which the deceased had brought to the hotel, was also found in his possession. He later led detectives to recover the deceased’s Redmi tablet and earbuds, which he had thrown out through the hotel window in a bag after committing the crime,” Ndukwe stated.
He stressed that the command would ensure justice is served on the matter, while urging parents and guardians to be watchful of their children and wards.

Lagos NURTW Boss Reacts To Alleged Threat To Voters As DSS Grilled Him Over Viral Video

The Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in Lagos, Mustapha Sego, has confirmed that he was invited by the Department of State Services, DSS, over allegations of incitement following a viral video in which he made controversial remarks about the 2027 elections.
In the video, Sego, while addressing union members, had warned that “what happened in 2023 will not be allowed to repeat itself in 2027,” adding in Yoruba that “anybody who makes any mistakes in 2027 will be dealt with” and that the All Progressives Congress, APC, was the party voters must support.
His comments sparked public outrage, with many interpreting them as threats aimed at voters ahead of the next general election.
However, in a follow-up disclaimer video, the NURTW boss denied threatening voters, insisting that his remarks were misrepresented and taken out of context.

He confirmed that the DSS invited him earlier in the day to clarify the allegations, which he described as “false and baseless.”
“I have always been a man of peace, and my messages are directed only to our members. Everyone has the right to associate freely and choose their affiliations, and I fully respect that,” he said.
Sego alleged that the controversy was being fueled by rival groups seeking to destabilize his leadership in the state.
“There is always an enemy in every job, and we know where this is coming from. This is clearly an attempt to destabilize me and the NURTW in Lagos State,” he stated.

The source said, “Alex stays at Cele Niza here in Iyana Isashi. He had just come back from his place of work when he stepped out again, probably to meet a friend. He was on his way when some men on a bike stopped him on the way and shot him. It was the sound of the gunshot that attracted people around, who rushed to the spot and found him lying in a pool of blood. The gunmen were also seen trying to escape from the area while still on the bike.”
According to the source, Alex was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he was being attended to.
Giving an update on the incident on Wednesday, the source confirmed to that the victim succumbed to the gunshot injuries earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, the victim, otherwise known as Fleximore, was said to have had an altercation with some strangers at a nightclub in the community a day before the incident happened.
Another resident who identified himself simply as Quadri and made this known to The PUNCH on Wednesday said, “Some of his friends who went to a club in the area with him said he had a serious fight with some guys there. They said it started with an argument that later resulted in a confrontation.
“Although they tried to settle it but that is very unusual of him. You hardly hear anything of such about him. Alex is an easy-going person and does not make trouble, but we don’t know the kind of person he had issues with at the nightclub, and that is why some people said the attack was most likely a result of what happened at the club.”
According to Quadri, arrangements are ongoing to bury the late Alex.
