A commercial sex worker identified as Njideka Joseph, has been defrauded of N750, 000 by a man who disguised as a client and promised to also help start a business for her in Asaba, Delta state.
The victim who hails from Nkpor in Anambra State but resident in Cable Point Quarters in Asaba fell into the hands of two fraudsters after she was approached for an all-night service for N8,000, Punch reports.
Narrating her ordeal, she said: “I saw the two men who came in a coloured taxi car claiming they are business men from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, they approached me for all night show and I told them I cannot carry two persons but one.
“In the night, one of them whom I agreed to sleep with, paid me N8,000 and while we were discussing, he introduced some business to me which I showed interest in.
“The amount he talked about the business was N1 million naira and all I had in my room that I was taking to the bank next Wednesday was N750,000. I parted with the money and collected his GSM numbers including a note where he wrote his addresses.
“But two days later, I called the lines, they were not going and I reported the case to the police at the ‘A’ Division police station in Asaba.”
An ongoing investigation has been launched to arrest the suspects and make them face the law.
