The police in Lagos have arrested the owner of Collabor Hotel , an inn on Ige Street in the Iyana Ipaja area of the state , for allegedly hosting underage sex workers in the facility .

The owner of the hotel, John Okon, was apprehended along with the hotel manager, Emmanuel Thomas . Their alleged accomplice , Monica Ita , was said to be at large.

PUNCH Metro learnt that operatives of the Federal Special Anti - Robbery Squad , acting on intelligence, busted the hotel on Saturday , March 10, 2018 , and caught a 15 - year -old primary school leaver allegedly engaging in prostitution .

The girl was said to have been brought from her village in the eastern part of the country by Ita a few weeks ago on the pretext that she (Ita ) would get her a good job .

Our correspondent gathered that one Destiny Bassey , 19 , and 18- year - old Bright Effiong , who was said to have been at the inn for three years, were also picked up by the operatives .

During a parade on Tuesday at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja , the hotel operators admitted to providing service for the sex workers , except the 15- year - old girl .

The hotel manager, Thomas , said , “ It is true that we provide rooms for sex workers where men visit them . We collect N 5 , 000 from them (the sex workers ) every week . We don’ t give them out to men; they bring their customers themselves . ”

The 15 - year - old told PUNCH Metro that Ita persuaded her to come to Lagos when she ( Ita ) saw her playing around the village .

She said , “I finished from primary school two years ago , but I could not continue my study because my parents died . Aunty Monica (Ita ) came to the village and asked me to follow her to Abuja . She said she would get me a good job .

“ Some days after I got to Lagos , she took me to the hotel to do prostitution . I had yet to get a room when the police came to pick us . ”

Bold and unabashed , Bassey , who gave her age as 25, said she slept with five men per day and collected N 2 , 000 from each of her customers .
The Imo State indigene added that joblessness pushed her to the act .

She said , “Nobody forced me into prostitution . I have been hustling at the hotel for some years now . I send part of the money I make to my relatives in the village for the upkeep of my child . I don’ t have parents and my husband is dead .

“ I sleep with five men every day, so I make as much as N 10, 000 . I pay the hotel N 5 , 000 every week . I wanted to save enough money for my education . ”

Effiong, an indigene of Calabar , Cross River State, also said she went to bed with five men daily , adding that some of her customers paid N 1 , 000 .

“ I came to the hotel last year and paid N 3 , 000 per week for a room. I did only one round with each customer , ” she added .

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police , Edgal Imohimi , said the command swung into action following a tip - off that a syndicate was running a prostitution ring .

“ A team of FSARS operatives stormed Collabor Hotel and arrested a 15- year - old girl . She confessed that she was brought to the hotel some weeks ago by one Monica Ita . The coordinators of the prostitution ring , Emmanuel Thomas and John Okon , were also arrested .

The case will be charged to court at the completion of investigation , ” the CP added.

5men a day x 5000=25000

25000x7 days=175000

175000 x30 days=5250000
5250000 x365days=1916250000

Underage prostitution shouldn't be banned. As long as they weren't forced.

Everyone has the right do whatever they please with their body.

Very poor. A sex worker sleeping with 5 men per day, that's prolly poor because most of non-virgin ladies fvcks 2-4 times everyday in the excuse of "He's my boyfriend".

What if I did?

Anyway how was your night? We are friends now

MhizzAJ:


I don't think it's poor because they get paid for services rendered...do you understand

At least if they sleep with five men per day for 5000 Naira they get to earn 25,000 per day then multiply it by a month

Those non virgins that fvck 2-4 times a day they mostly do it free of charge...I think this is poor

If you wanna make money with your body let's know you are making it with your body...I really don't like the idea of ladies extorting from men in the name of love its similar to prostitution too that's why i hardly condemn prostitutes or rather sex workers

"Any which way sha....." you might want to consider a trial?

Good to know

Just know there's no hard feeling when I bash you from time to time (there has to be some balance in the universe )

Have a good day

donstan18:


There's a different between poor and cheap, your first lines reeks and countered "Cheap" because you did misunderstood me.

They collect 5000 from each customer, that's enough reason why they should work hard to make more than 25000 per day, a smart worker shouldn't be blinded with what he/she makes per work rendered, but should be hardworking to render x7of that services so long as time permits.

@Bolded, you are right, i had to call these "Non-virgin fvckers"out just to highlight their sexual stamina and the possibility of these sex workers making more than what they claimed to make.

They should utilize their time and make more

MhizzAJ:


I don pass that level jare
Those ones still day local league

I work for my money with my brains not my body

Thats good...but you always applaud those girls that use their body to earn a living...or were you being sarcastic?
