Sex Work!!! Prostitute Murdered In Victoria Island Car Park.

Some unidentified people on Monday stabbed a sex worker to death in a car park on Idowu Taylor Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The deceased, identified simply as Joy, was discovered in a pool of blood with stab wounds at about 5.30am.

According to Punch News, 25-year-old Joy who’s from Delta state, was a commercial sex worker who had two kids – a girl and a boy.

Joy, who had sent her daughter to stay with a relative in Port Harcourt, went to the park with her three-year-old boy on Sunday night when she was believed to have been stabbed to death.

The car park, is commonly used by employees of commercial banks and other organisations on the street.

A resident, Mr. Afeez Ibrahim, told Punch News that although Joy was a sex worker, most people on the street liked her and had assisted her in the past so that she could leave the job.

Ibrahim said he suspected that Joy’s killers might have had an intention to rob her, but might have killed her after she resisted them.

He said, “Joy is a well known woman on this street. We all liked her except for the work she did. She called herself a street hustler who needed to take care of her children. She is Urhobo. On Sunday evening, she was still seen around the car park.

“We were shocked when we woke on Monday morning to find her corpse with knife injuries. Her attackers stabbed her twice on the back. She was found in a pool of blood.”

A worker in the area also commented saying that Idowu Taylor Street and neighbouring Adeyemo Alakija Street were a hub of commercial sex workers.

The worker added that Joy’s little boy, identified simply as Emmanuel, said he saw some men in black around his mother.

He said, “The police have tried to stop the commercial sex workers by raiding the streets a number of times. But when they raid, they later release them. When you come in the evening, you will see the ladies hanging around the parks.

“The boy is just about three years old. He was sleeping some metres away from his mother. When the people tried to find out what happened from the boy, he simply said he saw some men in black around his mother. I feel the boy was actually asleep and might not have seen the assailants clearly enough.”
