A Muslim homosexual man, Mohammed Snu, has been gruesomely murdered in cold blood by his alleged gay lover, Mohammed Umar, inside a hotel room in the Garki area of Abuja.
Snu had reportedly died after Umar used a screwdriver to stab him several times in the chest on Thursday, December 4, 2014.
According to Punch, the deceased, who was a regular guest at the hotel, was said to have invited Umar for sex, but their romance went sour when Snu refused to pay his partner for the second round of sex.
The two men had sex twice but Snu allegedly refused to pay for the second round which led to a heated argument between the lovers, a source revealed.
“The man had just come back from a mosque where he went for prayers with his partner when we heard a loud noise from his room and a voice saying ‘ya kuri (please, don’t be angry)’.
“By the time we forced the door open, we saw Umar standing naked and Snu lying dead on the bed with stab wounds on his body.
“We immediately called the police and Umar was arrested,” said the anonymous source.
Following the fracas, police operatives arraigned the hotel manager for questioning.
The corpse of the victim was reportedly taken away by policemen from the FCT Command in a white pick-up van.
It was also learnt that the officials of the police drove away with the deceased white Mercedez salon car with Abuja registration number, KUJ 883 AQ, which was parked on the hotel premises before the incident.
Confirming the tragedy, the Abuja Police Public Relations Officer, Peter Okechukwu, stated that the that the deceased invited the suspect to massage him in his hotel room due to some pains he was allegedly experiencing in his ribs.
“In the course of the massage, Snu asked Umar to undress for sex, and from there, they engaged in a scuffle leading to the stabbing of the deceased by the suspect. It was the loud noise from their room that attracted the hotel workers.
“When our men got to the hotel, we found the deceased and the suspect naked. Investigations have commenced and we will soon know what actually transpired behind the closed door,” Okechukwu disclosed.
