Residents of Chapel Hill in Takoradi on Saturday woke up to shocking news of a murder of a 28-year-old Nigerian.
The deceased has been identified by the Takoradi police command as Edafe Ovoke Vera, a sex worker.
A friend of Vera, who spoke to Empire News’ Emmanuel Ohene-Gyan on condition of anonymity, said they were at the Vienna nightclub to ply their trade when a young man approached Vera for her services.
She said she did not see Vera that night again till 4 am when they arrived at their hotel to see her and the said client quarreling. She said they did not bother to intervene because it is normal at the hotel to hear her colleagues having hot exchanges with their clients over charges.
