An 18-year-old boy has been arrested by the Nigeria Police in Ogun after he allegedly killed a 28-year-old lady for demanding money after the two had sex.

The suspect is said to have killed the lady, Azeezat Akande, a sex worker after she demanded N10,000 (K19, 000) for a sex service she rendered to him.

According to police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was arrested following a report lodged by residents of Ilupeju community. It is alleged that the residents woke up in the morning of Sunday, July 18, to discover a lifeless body of the young lady, who was allegedly stabbed to death with a knife soaked with blood beside her.

Following a tip-off that the suspect was last seen at about 11:45 pm on Thursday, July 22, at a bar in the area, where he was trying to pick another hooker, the police operatives quickly moved in there and got him arrested.

The suspect confessed to the crime and claimed the he did it because the victim demanded for N10, 000 which was their agreement but he refused to give her because he had only N8, 000 on him.
