Sex-for-cash kills phone software marketer in Delta

Nelson, a phone software marketer in Delta state, mid-west Nigeria, reportedly died while allegedly having a marathon sex with a lady at Treasureland hotel, located in Ovwian, Udu council area of the state.

Our correspondent gathered that Nelson, who specialize in downloading applications on mobile phones demanded sex from a female customer who could not pay for the service he rendered to her.

It was a pay-in-kind arrangement, which Obiogu Helen, the lady at the center of the storm accepted.

Reports have it that Helen had gone to purchase the mobile phone from the deceased’s shop located at Robinson Plaza along Deco road in Warri south area of Delta.

Helen was short of N5, 000 to make complete payment for the purchase and had pleaded with the late Nelson to let her go and come back another day to complete the payment but he had refused and insisted she met him in a hotel to pay in kind.

It was gathered that she eventually went to the hotel and Nelson sent her to buy drinks.

Father of two identified only as Nelson died while in a hotel room with a customer in Delta State.

It was in the course of sipping the drink that Nelson slowly died.

Reports have, however, alleged that Helen could have poisoned Nelson’s drink which eventually led to his death.

When staff and sympathizers at the hotel got wind of the incident, Helen was arrested after they noticed she was crying and was in a haste to leave the premises.

Confirming the incident on Saturday, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Celestina Kalu, said the incident happened on Thursday last week at about 15.30 hours.
