The Delta State Police Command has arrested a man in his twenties for allegedly stabbing a girl after a sex romp in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State.

It was gathered that the man simply identified as Mr Daniel, was alleged to have stabbed the sex worker in a brothel, Apple Inn, on Friday night, along the ever-busy Benin/Asaba Expressway, after an altercation over his refusal to pay the agreed fee.

Sources said the suspect, a regular customer at the brothel, had hinged his refusal to pay the agreed fee on his claim that the sex worker denied him ejaculation during the third round of the sex romp.

“While the sex worker was insisting that he must pay the complete amount as agreed, stressing that he was hard on her, the suspect picked a knife, possibly from the sex worker’s kitchen, stabbed her and dragged the knife downward”, a source said.

“The man was arrested by police officers after a distress call by some residents.”

The sources added that the victim whose identity could not be ascertained as of the time of filling this report was in critical condition when she was rushed to the hospital for medical attention.

A senior police officer in the Agbor Division of the police who confirmed the arrest said a team of police officers from the division was dispatched to the scene after a distress call.

He disclosed that upon their arrival, the victim was seen in a pool of her blood while the suspect was almost being lynched by an angry mob.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Bright Edafe, said he had called the DPO of Agbor Division, who promised to get back to him on the matter.

He said, “I cannot confirmed it now. I have called the DPO in Agbor, he promised to get back to me but he has not.”
