Nigerian police have confirmed the death of an unidentified man at a guest house in Paiko, Paikoro Local Government Area of Niger State, where he had allegedly gone to see a commercial sex worker.
The incident occurred on Tuesday within a lodge owned by the local government and located in the popular Paiko market.
Daily Trust quoted a trader as saying the incident took place on Tuesday night.
He explained, “The man was done having affairs with the lady and was putting on his trousers, as the lady narrated to us, when he suddenly slumped and died.”
The woman involved has been arrested by the police, and the man’s body was transferred to IBB Specialist Hospital in Minna.
"We cannot trace his family because he had no phone or any means of identification on his body. This is the first time we are experiencing this in this market," the trader added.
