A 26 -year old commercial sex
worker, Hope Okafor has admitted stabbing her client, Samuel Sarumi to death.
Inspector Ada Erondu disclosed this
while giving evidence in the trial of the commercial sex worker before Justice
Lateefat Okunnu of a Lagos High Court, Ikeja.
Okafor is standing trial for
allegedly stabbing Sarumi at about 11:30pm on March 2, 2010 at Nice Time Hotel,
Ipaja and which later caused his death.
Erondu of the state Criminal
Investigation Department, Yaba, told the court that the defendant had admitted
the crime.
The investigating police officer
told the court that when she visited the crime scene, the defendant told her
that she stabbed the deceased person in her hotel room.
“When I got to the hotel, the hotel
manager and the owner told me Okafor was in her room, and that she was hiding
from an angry mob.” “I was told that the victim, Sarumi, came out of her hotel
room with blood all over him.
“When I got to the crime scene, I
saw pieces of broken bottle on the floor which we later recovered.
“The defendant was the only
prostitute I met at the crime scene. Other commercial sex workers had
absconded.
“She told me there that she stabbed
the deceased, but that she didn’t know the victim would die.”
The witness, who was led in evidence
by the Principal State Counsel, Mosunmola Balogun, told the court that Okafor
had complained of some pains.
“The defendant complained that she
was having pains all over her body, but I couldn’t see any physical injury on
her. I took her to the hospital to be examined,” she said.
