There was confusion on Saturday at the popular cable point base of commercial sex workers in Asaba, Delta State when some of them went berserk and attacked their customers over unpaid bills.
It was gathered that the commercial sex workers had increased their charges and warned their customers, who would not comply with the new tariff, to steer clear of them. But those who were attacked by the prostitutes attack on Saturday claimed they were not put in the know of their new charges.
An eyewitness of the incident, Ngozi Njeh, said she learnt that a round of sex which used to cost N1,000.00 has been increased to N2,000.00 while a night often called ‘Day Break’ which used to be N5,000.00 was increased to N8,000.00; a situation the victims on the fateful Saturday failed to comply with, resulting in the allegedly attack by the commercial sex workers.
It was gathered that trouble started when the victims during nightfall entered into one of the brothels to satisfy their sexual desires. Contrary to the claim by their victims that they were not aware of the increased charges, one of the commercial sex workers, Anabel Onweh, said “The victims agreed to pay us N8,000.00 each and we took them in. After using us, the following morning they were giving us N4,000.00 as against our bargain and we decided to attack them and beat them mercilessly because we know what brought us to this brothel.”
Investigation revealed that the victims were beaten before policemen A-Division came to their rescue.
At the A-Division Police Station, an officer who gave his name as Raphael (surname withheld) said, “We moved in into the brothel with our men when we heard shouting match between the commercial sex workers and their customers and on interrogation we discovered the customers refused to pay their bills and the matter was resolved amicably.”
