her clients were Thursday midnight burnt to
death as a mysterious fire razed a popular
commercial sex spot near Orhowhurun
Roundabout, Udu local government area, Delta
state.
Properties worth millions of naira were also
reportedly lost to the inferno which also gutted
adjoining trading shops and residential buildings.
Cause of the incident was still in doubt when
Saturday Vanguard got to the scene but
speculations were rife that the fire began at about
1am, Boxing Day, from one of the rooms occupied
by one of the commercial sex workers at a
popular brothel in the area.
Corpses of the victims, one young man and that
of a young lady believed to be in her thirties
were burnt beyond recognition, sympathizers
explained.
The raging fire, it was gathered, extended to other
apartments and near-by buildings through
electricity cables, taking out provisions, electric
and pharmaceutical shops in the affected
buildings.
“Corpses of the lady and most likely her male
client were found on the same spot”, a witness
told Saturday Vanguard after their remains
were taken to an undisclosed morgue.
Victims and sympathizers were seen lamenting
the unfortunate fire.
