A man has been arrested for allegedly killing a commercial sex worker at Kwanawa, in the Dange/Shuni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

It was gathered that the customer allegedly stabbed the victim to death with a knife during a fight that ensued between them after she rejected the N1000 he gave her.

Sources in the area claim that the victim resided in one of the brothels within the area known for all sorts of illicit activities.

A source said it was the alarm raised by the neighbors around the hotel and passers-by that drew the attention of the people that apprehended the suspect when he attempted to run away after discovering that the victim was dead.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Sanusi Abubakar, who confirmed the incident to Punch, said the suspect claimed to be a researcher who visited Sokoto State to carry out research.

According to the spokesperson, the suspect claimed that the victim allegedly brought out a knife that he (the suspect) used to stab her after he overpowered her. Abubakar added that the case had been transferred to the homicide section of the Command for proper investigation.
