An 18-year-old man, Kingdom Paul, has been arrested by operatives of the Edo State Police Command for allegedly stabbing to death a 38-year-old woman, Victory Oro, in Benin City, the state capital.
The incident was said to have occurred last week Thursday after the lady and man had sex in a hotel with a promise of N2,000 payment.
The spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Moses Joel Yamu, confirmed the development when he paraded Paul alongside some other suspects.
Yamu, a Superintendent of Police, revealed in a statement he read to newsmen that on September 5, 2024 at about 12pm, operatives of Evbuotubu Police Division, acting on information, arrested Paul for stabbing Oro in a lodge where they went to have fun.

He added: “The victim was immediately rushed to Supreme Hospital, Upper Ekenwan where she gave up the ghost.
“Her corpse has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy. Investigation is ongoing.”
Paul told newsmen that he attacked Oro suddenly and without any reason, despite having earlier agreed to pay her N2,000 for the sexual act.
