A woman identified as Zara was reportedly stabbed to death by two men who had checked her into a hotel.
The incident was said to have occurred on Sunday night at a hotel in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory.
Our correspondent gathered that an argument broke out between Zara and the men in the hotel room, leading one of them to stab her with a scissor.
A resident of the area who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that the lady killed was a commercial sex worker.
He added that she was stabbed in the stomach and other areas of her body.
The source said, “We woke up this morning to the news of the death of a commercial sex worker in a hotel in Kubwa here. What we heard was that an argument occurred between her and the two men.
