the victim's corpse being taken away by security men |
A suspected gay, Mohammed Snu, has been murdered by his partner,
Mohammed Umar, inside a room of a hotel in Garki, Abuja.
It was gathered that Snu died after he was stabbed multiple times in the
ribs with a screw driver by Umar last Thursday.
The deceased, who was a regular guest at the hotel, was said to have
invited Umar for sex, but their romance went sour when Snu refused to pay his
partner for the second round of sex.
A source in the hotel said that the two men had sex twice, but Snu
allegedly refused to pay for the second round, which led to a scuffle.
The source said, “The man had just come back from a mosque where he went
for prayers with his partner when we heard a loud noise from his room and a
voice saying ‘ya kuri (please, don’t be angry)’. By the time we forced the door
open, we saw Umar standing naked and Snu lying dead on the bed with stab
injuries on his body. We immediately called the police and Umar was arrested.”
It was learnt that the police came back later and
whisked away the hotel manager for interrogation.
The incident was said to have generated an uproar around the Garki
neighbourhood, as residents gathered in clusters to discuss the tragedy.
Our correspondent was told that policemen from the FCT Command came in a
white pick-up van and took the corpse away.
They also drove away his white Mercedez salon car with Abuja
registration number, KUJ 883 AQ, which was parked on the hotel premises.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Peter Okechukwu, who confirmed
the incident, explained that the deceased invited the suspect to massage him in
his hotel room, saying he had pains in his ribs.
He said, “In the course of the massage, Snu asked Umar to undress for
sex, and from there, they engaged in a scuffle leading to the stabbing of the
deceased by the suspect. It was the loud noise from their room that attracted
the hotel workers.
“When our men got to the hotel, we found the deceased and the suspect
naked. Investigations have commenced and we will soon know what actually
transpired behind the closed door.”

Nigerian police can never stop surprising me. They have concluded the scenario even before investigation. You can be my guest.
