A palpable tension has gripped residents of Hospital Road in Abak, following an alleged murder of an unidentified sex worker, who was reportedly shot by cultists in a brothel simply identified as Bluemoon.

Our reporter gathered from close sources that the deceased who was in the brothel yesterday, met her untimely death while engaging in a heated argument with her “customer.”

Witnesses also said the action resulted in the “customer” pulling his trigger into her, leaving her dead at the brothel premises.

Others who spoke on the condition of strictest anonymity, averred that the killing may have been occasioned by failure of the said customer to pay for the “service” rendered by the deceased. This, the source added, could be in the form of “balance”, that is, completion of payment.

The mortuary where the deceased was rushed to, could not be known as at the time of filing this report.
