The Lagos State Police Command has
arrested a hotelier, Victor Obano, for allegedly turning a 23-year-old
female job seeker into a commercial sex worker in the Ijegun area of the
state.
The police said Obano, who owned Tisa
Hotel, allegedly lured the victim, Elizabeth, from Akwa Ibom, promising
her employment in Lagos State.
Obano allegedly thereafter turned the job seeker into a sex worker in the hotel.
PUNCH Metro learnt that
Elizabeth, a mother of two, reportedly got tired of being a commercial
sex worker, and on October 5, told her elder sister on the telephone
what she was going through.
The sister was said to have informed the
police at the Anti-Robbery Squad of the State Criminal Investigation
and Intelligence Department, Yaba, leading to Obano’s arrest.
Our correspondent gathered that another
accomplice, a commercial sex worker, identified as Grace Edet, who
allegedly was Elizabeth’s supervisor, was also picked up by the police.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro at
the command headquarters, Ikeja, Obano, who admitted to have brought the
victim from Akwa Ibom, said he only assisted her to find a means of
livelihood.
He said, “I am the manager of Tisa Hotel
in the Ijegun waterside. I am not a human trafficker. It was only this
lady that I brought from the village. I met with her father and he
explained her predicament. She is 23 years old. She has two kids and she
was living a miserable life. So, I decided to get a job for her.
“The police arrested me because I seized
her phones. They said I did not want her to contact her family members,
but I collected her phone because I did not want her to have an affair
with several men.
“It was her elder sister who reported
the matter to the police. The victim is with her brother presently. The
arrangement was that I would be paying her and she would also hustle in
the hotel and send the money to take care of her father.
“The police should let this matter be settled amicably. It is a family issue.”
The accomplice, Edet, told our correspondent that Obano had instructed her to train Elizabeth in commercial sex.
She said, “I have worked in the hotel
for some years. I am a commercial sex worker. When the manager came back
from Akwa Ibom earlier in the year, he returned with the lady. He
handed her over to me, saying I should teach her some tricks of the
trade.
“I did not know the arrangement between
them. When I asked the lady why she was brought, she replied that she
was asked to hustle at the hotel. So, I do not have any fault in the
matter.”
A police source told our correspondent that Obano allegedly had more girls he used as commercial sex workers in his hotel.
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai
Owoseni, who paraded the suspects, said the command would not tolerate
any form of crime, urging the public to always avail the police of
credible information.
Donald Trump praises the FBI for its new investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, saying “it took guts”.
The
Republican candidate spoke about the probe at a rally in Michigan after
it was revealed last week that the bureau would examine whether newly
discovered emails contained sensitive government information.
He said Hillary Clinton had put “the safety of the American people under threat” in “the biggest scandal since Watergate”.
The Democrat, whose lead in the polls has narrowed this week, is
“likely to be under investigation for a very long time,” Mr Trump added.
Speaking
about FBI director James Comey, the billionaire tycoon said he wanted
to “give credit” to him for opening the fresh investigation.
Mr
Trump also used his speech to speak about employment, promising to “win
back the White House” and “bring your jobs back to America”.
A non-governmental organisation, Centre for Leadership and Youth
Orientation, has called for the abolition of youth gambling and beauty
pageants.
The group observed that gambling and beauty pageants were discouraging youths from skill acquisition and self-reliance.
The
initiator of CENSTLEYO, Mr. Felix Imah, stated this on Saturday in
Nnewi, Anambra State, during a one-day training programme for
journalists.
Delivering a paper entitled ‘CENSTLEYO and the media in the
transformation of our society’, Imah argued that such organised
get-rich-quick ventures had destroyed most youths.
He said, “They no longer find acquisition of leadership skills and other moral values important or even necessary.”
Citing
the recent alleged Anambra sex scandal involving the 2015 Miss Anambra,
Chidinma Okeke, the CENSTLEYO initiator said most girls were exploited
in such competitions.
