It is reported that commercial sex workers in Umunede Delta State have beaten three customers into a unconsciousness for non-complete payment after several rounds of sex. The report obtained from LEADERSHIP SUNDAY asserts that the irritated prostitutes descended on their customers who were said to have taken Viagra before seeking them out.
The going rate in Umunede, for what is called “daybreak”, is N8,000 to N10,000 depending on what is agreed upon.
The severe beating which took place on the night of January 13th involved Igbo traders travelling from Benin to Onitsha. After being stranded for hours due to a broken down vehicle, the travelers had no option but to seek a place to survive the chilly night.
The traders therefore went into a ‘hotel’ only to discover that all the hotels were brothels filled with sex workers. They were said to have bargained to sleep with a few of them on “daybreak” menu but this was not to be as they tried to elope without paying in full.
Observers say the overly vexed up prostitutes joined hands and released heavy blows on their customers, leaving them with deep-cut wounds. They were taken to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH) still in heavy bleeding.
The victims’ names were given as Emeka, Nnamdi, and Cornelius who hail from Imo State but live in Benin City where they deal in vehicle spare parts.
Some bystanders confirmed that some of the men were still ‘hard’ are they were receiving the blows on their faces.
While this may appear as entertainment, of course it does entertain, it reveals a major problem that African governments and leaders need to address if we as a people are going to meet the challenges of the millenium development goals. Food for thought.
