Lagos man stabbed by a prostitute

A Lagos prostitute has landed herself in
deep trouble. She is currently in police
custody after allegedly stabbing a man to
death after arguments over – wait for it –
oral sex.
The young lady isn’t denying that she
committed the crime; she’s saying,
however, that she killed the man in self
defence.
The 21-year-old lady, Kofoworola, said
when she boarded a Honda car at Borno
Crescent, Apapa, Lagos, at about 3.30 am
that fateful night, she was very grateful
to the driver. The driver, she said,
reportedly assured her he would not
collect any money since he wasn’t
driving a commercial vehicle.
Kofoworola, (other names are being
withheld by us) said she never knew that
danger was lurking around the corner
until the driver, identified as Patrick,
refused to stop at her destination -
Monalido Night Club, Apapa. Kofoworola
said when she protested, the driver
brought out a knife and threatened to
kill her if she failed to do his bidding.
Ironically, it was Kofoworola that ended
up killing the man with that same knife.
How did it happen?
“He threatened to kill me with the knife
if I refused to perform oral sex on him,”
she said. “He said I should use my mouth
to stimulate his manhood. I told him I
could not do it. I had never done such a
thing before. I begged him and even told
him that such act irritates me and would
make me vomit. All my pleading fell on
deaf ears. I later told him to allow me
ease myself. I told him I was not going to
run because my bag was on the back
seat. He stopped the vehicle, but as I
wanted to come down, he sped off again.
He held my neck with one hand as he
drove and was pressing my throat with it
while he controlled the steering with the
other hand. He then pulled over at a
dark spot along Hyndra Road, Apapa. He
pulled down his trousers and
commanded me to do what he wanted
me to do. I still refused. He stabbed me
in my foot to show how serious he was. I
screamed and begged him to leave me
alone.
He pressed my face to his lap and
ordered me to do what he wanted me to
do. I did not obey him. As he was
pressing my neck, the knife fell off from
his hands. I quickly grabbed it. When he
saw that I had collected the knife, he
attempted to collect it from me by force.
He bit me in the hand. So I first stabbed
him on the thigh and later stabbed him
in the chest several times.
“I didn’t mean to kill him. I was only
trying to defend myself since he had
vowed to kill me. I made a mistake.
Maybe instead of killing him I should
have allowed him to kill me. That would
have been better. I would not have been
in this problem now.”
She also explained how she became a
prostitute. Her words: “I am a Lagosian.
I come from Lagos Island. I live at Casco
Street, Old Ojo Road, Mazamaza with my
mother. I am also a mother, as I have a
three-year-old daughter. My father never
cared about me and that was why I am
into prostitution. My father is not
interested whether we survive or not. My
mother is just a petty trader. There is
little she can do financially. I needed to
do something so that I could be able to
take care of my child and myself. Now
that I am in trouble, who will take care
of my baby? I have to do something to
take care of my baby. I love my baby. I
love her so much.
“What am I going to do now? Who will
help me out of this problem? They said
they will charge the case to court. I have
not entered any court since I was born.
Now I am going there because of murder.
God, I should have allowed him to kill
me. If I had died, at least I will rest from
all these worldly problems. I don’t have a
helper. See what poverty has dragged me
into. If not for poverty, I should be
sleeping in my house instead of going to
the club. But I do it on part time basis. I
am not a full time prostitute.”
The lady said the man who impregnated
her abandoned her and the baby, saying
she even dragged him to the police
station over the matter.
“I tried to make Collins understand that
he is the owner of the baby but he
denied it. The police tried to settle the
matter. But you know you can take a
horse to the stream, you cannot force it
to drink water. My family were also
disappointed in him. Up till now he
never cares about his baby. He is not
interested in her. For three years now, I
have been the one rearing the baby
alone. All these problems made me look
for money by all means. I had to drop
my pride and take my destiny in my
hands.”
According to her, she is regretting ever
venturing into prostitution. She urges
women to avoid it as much as possible.
“Prostitution is not a job,” she said. “It is
immoral. It can put you in trouble at any
time. Please learn from my own
experience. I became pregnant during
my final year in secondary school. After
I delivered, I later went back to write my
WAEC examinations. Unfortunately, I
failed English language.”
An investigation by this reporter in
many night clubs in Apapa revealed that
the dead man might have violated
several prostitutes in the area before he
was finally killed.
At Wazobia Night Club, a lady called
Ngozi spoke of her experience in the
hands of the dead man. Her words: “One
day at about 2 am., I was leaving the
residence of one of my ‘customers’. He is
a white man. He lives at Calcutta
Crescent, Apapa. I was waiting for either
a commercial motorcycle or a taxi that
would convey me to a hotel on Azare
Street, Apapa, where another customer
was waiting for me. I saw this car and it
stopped in front of me. Only the driver
was inside. He beckoned on me to come
inside and I did.
He asked where I was going and I told
him. He said he was going towards that
direction and that he would drop me at
no cost. But instead to move towards the
direction I was going, the man brought
out a knife and threatened to stab me to
death if I failed to cooperate. He pulled
over at a dark spot along Hyndra Road,
Apapa. He pulled his trouser down and
ordered me to perform oral sex on him. I
was afraid. Tears rolled down my eyes
as I begged him that I could not do it. I
begged him to have normal sex with me
instead.
But he refused and threatened to kill me.
He claimed to be an ex-soldier. Since I
didn’t want to die, I had to do what he
wanted. Later he held my bag and said
he would do me a favour. He told me to
go down, open his boot and bring his
bag. Immediately I got down, the man
sped off. My two handsets were inside
the bag.”
The police said the lady would soon be
charged to court . by chibabynaija1
