Abia state-born Uche Okpara paid an Edo State-born Caroline Ibrahim N5,00 for sex for a night popularly called TDB (till day break) in her room. According to Ibrahim, after she and Okpara had marathon sex all through the night, she became weak and slept off.
She alleged that when she woke up, Okpara had disappeared with the N90,000 she kept in a bag. The incident happened on 30 December, 2015 at a popular guest house at Aborishade street, Lawanson in Lagos where Ibrahim operates as a commercial sex worker.
The matter was reported to the police at Itire division and Okpara was arrested and charged to court with stealing under the criminal code. According to Ibrahim, Okpara was the last client she intended to have before travelling to her village. She said she had hoped to use the stolen money to start another business and foreclose her prostitution job and settle down to marry.
