The incident, it was learnt, forced people at the brothel to flee. The area was deserted, as traders and shop owners closed businesses to avoid arrest.
Although there has not been any medical report on the cause of the death, people were of the opinion that the man could have died, following cardiac arrest or exhaustion, as he was foaming.
The Nation gathered that the prostitute, having noticed that her customer had slumped and died atop her, contacted her colleagues and the brothel workers, who dumped his body behind the brothel.
It was learnt that officers from the Aba Central Police Station, in an effort to identify the deceased, recovered from him N20,000, a cheque book, ATM card and a Man ‘O’ War identity card bearing the name, Mr. Ogadinma Chukwu.
The manager, Mr. Nnamdi, was not around when our correspondent visited the brothel. The outgoing commander, Man ‘O’ War, Aba, Mr. Uche Egbuziem, identified Chukwu as a member of the proscribed Man ‘O’ War Association of Nigeria.
He said the deceased and some members of the defunct group still used their old identity cards as a cover up.
Police spokesman Geoffrey Ogbonna could not be reached for comments, but a senior police officer said the body had been deposited in an undisclosed mortuary, pending autopsy to determine the cause of the death. (Nation)
