Sex worker d!es during altercation with client over N15,000 in Ondo brothel

A s3x worker has d!ed following a dispute between her and a male customer at a brothel located in the Cathedral area of Akure, the Ondo State capital. 

The incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Sunday, June 29, 2025. 

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday said the woman suddenly complained of weakness during the service and expressed her inability to continue, leading to a heated argument. 

The customer, angered by the situation, demanded a refund of the N15,000 he had paid. 

Efforts by the brothel manager and other occupants to resolve the matter proved abortive. 

The customer reportedly left the premises and returned shortly with two other men suspected to be his associates. 

On their return, the trio allegedly attempted to forcefully recover the money. 

The brothel manager, sensing danger, quickly contacted the police. A patrol team from ‘A’ Division was swiftly deployed to the scene. 

On arrival, the officers met the suspects in the act of recovering the money, while the health condition of the s3x worker had further deteriorated. 

She was immediately rushed to a private hospital in the Lafe area of Akure before being referred to the Police Hospital, where she was confirmed d3ad on arrival. 

Her remains have been deposited at the State Specialist Hospital morgue for autopsy. 

Ayanlade said three suspects were at the scene, while two others are currently on the run.  

He disclosed that the Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet investigation. 

The CP assured members of the public that justice will prevail, urging residents to remain calm and provide credible information that could aid the investigation.
