According to the ‘commercial sex worker,’ 18-year-old Faith Nuel, the incident happened on May 24, 2018.
She said: “I was in my hotel room when a customer, Chizoba Ayogu, entered and we bargained. After sex, I was surprised that the man tried to suffocate me with my pillow.
“He blocked my nostrils and my mouth with the pillow. He later tied a rope around my neck and hung me. If not for the timely intervention of some of the hotel staff who rescued me, I would have died.”
It was gathered that last Thursday, the Police received a distress call from a hotel in Ajangbadi.
An officer immediately went there with a team of policemen, where he met Faith Nuel with injuries on her neck.
The case was reported to the police, who posted the picture of the suspect in all the hotels around. He was apprehended when he visited another hotel within Ajagbandi axis.
The Police were notified and they immediately arrested him. They found two ropes and a black hand glove on him.
Denying Faith’s allegation, Chizoba Ayogu, 36, said: “I live at 7, Abdullahi Street, Kirikiri, Apapa Lagos.
“After work, I went with the girl to the hotel room and after sex I gave her the money, which she said was not enough.
“She asked for more money. We started arguing and she said that I wanted to use rope on her. But the truth is that I did not attempt to kill her.”
